The Process
Sun-dried grapes. Fortified. Aged for over 30 years.
Duque de Veragua begins with a selection of the finest holandas de alquitarra, blended to reach 38% alcohol. The brandy is then aged in American oak casks previously seasoned with Oloroso from Jerez, using the traditional solera and criaderas system. The first criadera uses 600-litre butts for slower ageing before the brandy moves to 250-litre solera casks, where it completes an average ageing period of around 30 years.
