Hello Jimmy, one simple question. What is the moderator of Jerez de la Frontera ?? It’s located more inland and seems warmer than two other regions. As far as I see google earth, the altitude is not so high. Is it simply because of “historical importance “that Jerez is the key town of Sherry making? Thank you always for your fantastic help !

[@WineWithJimmy]

It is now!

Hmmm....interesting. Good to know the ABV of the "grape spirit". 96% is basically azeotrope level...pretty much a "vodka" at that point...lol. Are they particular in choosing what "wine" they distill into grape spirit though?

[@WineWithJimmy]

The quality of the spirit used for fortification does play an important role here. At 96% abv, the spirit will be highly rectified (processed to a degree that flavour/aroma compounds are almost totally removed). So, whichever base is used as a starting point, the end goal is a neutral spirit - and as long as that can be achieved from the chosen wine then I’d say it’s a contender.
