The heart of Spanish brandy production lies in the solera system, a method borrowed from sherry production. This intricate process involves ageing the brandy in a series of barrels, with the youngest brandy being added to the top tier and gradually blended with older brandies as it moves down the tiers. This method ensures consistency in flavour and quality over time and imparts a complexity that is difficult to achieve through other ageing processes. The solera system contributes significantly to the smooth, rich character of Spanish brandy. Carlos I Brandy is produced using the traditional solera system, a method used for sherry that involves a complex process of fractional blending. The brandy is aged in a series of barrels, with younger brandies being gradually blended with older ones over time. This process ensures consistency and continuous quality, allowing the brandy to develop a depth of character that would be impossible through simple ageing. The Jerez region, or "Sherry Triangle," located in Andalusia in southern Spain, provides the perfect climatic conditions for ageing brandy. The area is characterised by hot, dry summers and mild winters, conditions that contribute significantly to the maturation process of the brandy. The region's white, chalky soil, known as 'albariza', is ideal for growing the Palomino grapes used in the production of the sherry wines, which are closely related to the brandy.
