| You'll see mentioned that some regions use the solera system for elaborating wines. |
| In the solera system, wine from many vintages is matured in the cellars in separate casks. |
| Sherry-style wines are also made in California though they usually do not go through a solera system and most are sweet. |
| Sherries develop their unique characteristics during aging in what has become known as the solera system. |
| The wine is then aged and the vintages blended following the same solera system used in Jerez for Sherry. |
| In general, sherries produced by the solera system with flor are termed fino sherries while those without flor are termed oloroso sherries. |
