We clarify the mistakes by noting the following considerations. Wine production is mainly based on two grape varieties: the “Palomino fino” and “Pedro Ximénez” varieties. Both are cultivated in the Jérez Region, the first being the predominant in Jerez, while the second is a variety almost exclusively cultivated in the Montilla-Moriles Region. The grapes which are recollected in Jérez have a potential content of around 12-13%, while the grapes in Montilla-Moriles usually reach 15-16% during grape harvest. This difference in alcohol content which is achieved in wines recently fermented, makes unnecessary the fortification (encabezado – addition of wine alcohol) in the Montilla-Moriles wines, while in Jerez it is common practice. With respect to the flor de velum, the yeast is developed from the wines nutritional components such as ethanol and glycerine. It is referred to as aerobe aging, where the flor de velum protects the wine from oxidation. The transformative 40 Puerto Escondido effect which the flor de velum exercises over the base wine is remarkable, creating scores of new compounds which were Ángel León not present in the original wine.
