A series of casks used to develop or age fortified wines. They are stacked in the bodega on top of each other forming what is called a pierna (leg) and are used in the process of "running the scales". The oldest wines can be found in the casks on the bottom tier, which are called soleras. A set of criaderas and soleras, which may comprise more than one pierna, is called an escala (scale). See Corrimiento de escalas.
