Gran Duque d'Alba
Brandy
Spain
0,7l
40% vol.
Aroma: Wine esters with pronounced balsamic notes. Taste: The palate is semi-dry, smooth, and full-bodied, with a hint of vanilla, followed by a long, pleasant finish. Dry, rich white wines of the Airen grape variety form the foundation for the production of Gran Duque de Alba. They are slow-distilled in pot stills to an alcohol content of 60-65% vol. Only these high-quality 'Holandas' are incorporated into the Solera of Gran Duque de Alba. There, the brandy matures for at least 10 years in American oak barrels previously seasoned with Oloroso Sherry. The aging process follows the traditional Criaderas y Soleras system, originating from this region and applied for centuries in Jerez for both Sherry and Brandy.
