Solera Method
- Traditional aging and blending process used for fortified wines, including dessert wines like Sherry and Madeira
- Process begins with a series of barrels or casks arranged in a tiered system called a "solera stack"
- Fractional blending: each year, a portion of wine is drawn from the bottom row of barrels for bottling, creating space in those barrels
- Space is then topped up with wine from the row above, and so on
- Older wine always remains in the barrels, contributing to the complexity and depth of flavor
- Ensures consistency in the final product, as the blend of wines remains relatively constant over time
