  • An Approach to Zoning in the Wine Growing Regions of “Jerez-Xérès-Sherry” and “Manzanilla-Sanlúcar De Barrameda”(Cádiz, Spain)

Spain Abstract The Appellations of Origin “Jerez-Xérès-Sherry” and “Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda” occupy one of the oldest and most world renowned viticultural areas in the peninsula, but it is not exempt from the serious problems that are to be found throughout the sector. In order to try to adapt to the present situation, zoning plans are being promoted whereby priority is given to the quality of the product, sustainable development and the economic interests. This work undertakes an approach to the viticultural zoning. The nutritional state of the grapevines is studied by means of foliage analysis at veraison. The quality of production was measured by means of the berry weight and the analysis of the most usual variables of the must at the time of harvest (°Baumé, pH and titratable acidity) over five seasons, in the 21 plots where the soil profiles were opened for analysis.

  • Spain – Fortified Wines
    Spain – Fortified wines DO, Montilla-Moriles Is located to the northeast of Jerez, Pedro Ximénez (PX) is the zone’s principal grape. Jerez has received dispensation to import PX must from Montilla- Moriles to compensate for its own declining acreage of the grape. Wines in the style of sherry fino, oloroso, and amontillado are produced in both fortified and unfortified versions. But Sherry terms may not be used The PX grape ripens well in Montilla-Moriles’ climate, the wines can naturally ferment to 15.5% alcohol, the ideal strength for flor to survive Thus, typically only olorosos and dessert styles are fortified. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel and the young wines are transferred to open earthenware jars (Tinajas) where flor develops. Classification of the young wines follows the system used in Sherry production. Sweeter styles are fortified to prevent flor growth and aged in cask through 4 criaderas and a shipping solera. DO Málaga Lies south of Montilla-Moriles. Moscatel and PX grapes are the region’s principal grapes. Classically, the grapes are dried for a period of up to 20 days prior to fermentation. (soleo process) ,The wines of Málaga are either naturally sweet wines, produced either from soleo or overripe grapes, or fortified sweet wines. The fortified wines either retain natural sweetness, or the winemaker adds it with arrope. The fortified wines undergo solera aging in oak casks Five age categories exist for Málaga: Málaga Pálido (max 6 months of aging in oak), Málaga (6 to 24 months ageing), Málaga Noble (2 to 3 years ageing), Málaga Añejo (3 to 5 years ageing), Málaga Transañejo (minimum 5years ageing).
