In the solera system, wine from many vintages is matured in the cellars in separate casks. |
The wine is then aged and the vintages blended following the same solera system used in Jerez for Sherry. |
In general, sherries produced by the solera system with flor are termed fino sherries while those without flor are termed oloroso sherries. |
The solera system consists of barrels stacked in tiers of 7-14, each row called a scale. |
Sherries develop their unique characteristics during aging in what has become known as the solera system. |
Meantime, even before the liberation of solera and Fortini, Maroncelli was ill with a bad tumour upon his knee. |
