Carlos I is a Brandy de Jerez which like Sherry is produced in a geographically protected region of production, known as the Sherry Triangle. The Jerez region of Spain is an area that benefits from a unique microclimate regulated by the surrounding waters of The Atlantic Ocean, the Guadalete and Guadalquivir Rivers along with the prevailing easterly Levante and westerly Poniente winds.
