More than 200 years ago, the Brandy de Jerez was created in the wine-growing region of the Andalusian Atlantic. The prevailing microclimate is in addition to the fertility of the soil an important part of the local viticulture. Carlos I Solera Gran Reserva is known throughout the world for the special quality of the Spanish brandy.Carlos I is made from the typical Jerez wines, mainly from Palomino, Pedro Ximénez and Muscat dAlexandria grape varieties. Wine distillates are the soul of Carlos I and therefore the vine and the wines made from it are of great importance. After the harvest in September, the must of the second pressing is used for the distillation. The lead and lag are separated and only the heart is used to make Carlos I. Storage and ripening are carried out exclusively in American oak sherry casks using the Solera process. The Carlos I spends 12 years in the barrel, the Carlos I Imperial at least 15 years. It is important during this time to make sure that the brandy can develop its character. Now, especially the nose and experience of the cellar master plays an important role. The brandy is characterized by its fineness and its mature, aromatic bouquet. The warm, soft mahogany color reveals the Spanish grandeur of Carlos Primeros.
