Production Method

• Distillation process: Following traditional solera system methods where the wine is fortified and moved through a cascading series of barrels.
• Maturation: Aged for 15 years in American oak casks following the solera system, allowing for complexity and depth to develop.
• Special techniques: Uses the traditional sun-drying (asoleo) process where grapes are left in the Spanish sun for up to two weeks, concentrating sugars and developing distinctive raisin characters.
