Description
The Gran Duque d'Alba Solera Gran Reserva Brandy de Jerez is one of Spain's most important premium brandies and has stood for the highest quality, tradition and artisan ageing since its introduction in 1945. Made from selected wines from the Palomino and Airén grape varieties, this fine brandy is produced in the world-famous Jerez de la Frontera region in the south of Andalusia - the heart of the Spanish sherry triangle.
Maturation takes place over a period of at least ten years in the classic solera system, which is characteristic of sherry production. The brandy passes through various ageing stages in a total of twelve rows of barrels: From the upper rows, in which the younger distillates are stored, to the lower, older barrels, in which the brandy develops its depth, structure and complexity. The barrels used were previously filled with 15-year-old dry sack oloroso sherry, which gives the brandy its elegant sweetness and typical aromas of dried fruit and wood.
The result is an exceptionally well-balanced Solera Gran Reserva brandy that impresses with its richness, depth and creamy texture. The elegant gift box underlines the luxurious character of this bottling and makes it an ideal gift for lovers of the art of Spanish distillation.
