Proposal for a regulation
Annex II a (new)

ANNEX IIa DYNAMIC OR 'CRIADERAS Y SOLERA' AGEING SYSTEM The dynamic or 'criaderas y solera' ageing system consists in the execution of periodical extractions of a portion of the brandy contained in each of the oak casks and containers that form an ageing scale and the corresponding replenishments with brandy extracted from the preceding ageing scale. Definitions Ageing scales: Each group of oak casks and containers with the same level of maturation, through which the brandy progresses in the course of its ageing process. Each scale is known as 'criadera', except the last one, previous to the expedition of the brandy, known as the 'solera'. Extraction: Partial volume of brandy drawn from each oak cask and container in an ageing scale, for its incorporation to the oak casks and containers in the next ageing scale or, in the case of the solera, for its expedition. Replenishment: Volume of brandy from the oak casks and containers of a given ageing scale that is incorporated to and blended with the content of the oak casks and containers of the following scale in terms of age. Average age: Period of time corresponding to the rotation of the total stock of brandy that is undergoing the ageing process, calculated as the fraction between the total volume of brandy contained in all the ageing scales and the volume of the extractions made from the last scale –the solera– in one year. The average age of the brandy drawn from the solera can be calculated using the following formula: 𝑡̅ = Vt/Ve In which: − 𝑡̅ is the average age, expressed in years − Vt is the total volume of stocks in the ageing system, expressed in litres of pure alcohol. − Ve is the total volume of product extracted for shipping during a year, expressed in litres of pure alcohol. Minimum average age. In the case of oak casks and containers of less than 1.000 litres, the number of annual extractions and replenishments shall be equal to or lower than twice the number of scales in the system, in order to guarantee that the youngest component has an age equal to or higher than 6 months. In the case of oak casks and containers of 1 000 litres or more, the number of annual extractions and replenishments shall be equal to or lower than the number of scales in the system, in order to guarantee that the youngest component has an age equal to or higher than 1 year.
