Spanish term or phrase: Alcoholes Superiores
Any wine buffs around or chemists/oenologists, etc.
Could this term refer to: Terpenic alcohols?

Don't have much context. I'm translating a Sparkling wine tasting wheel and this term comes up under the alcohol heading together with Ethanol, Brandy and Cognac.

Many thanks in advance!!!!
