Product Information

Cognac is a city in the Charentes area of western France where distillation began in the early XVII century. The Dutch had for many years bought the local wine either for consumption as wine or for distilling to make gin or liqueurs. It soon became apparent that wine in its distilled form could be shipped more economically, and Cognac became a centre for brandy production. The wine is mainly made from the Ugni Blanc grape and is double distilled in pot stills known as “alembiques Charentais”. It is aged statically in French oak barrels of 350 litres and seasoned with young spirits. Cognac received its Appellation d’Origine Contrôllee (AOC) in 1936. Alquitaras pot stills

In-person activities for Golden Week included 20 tastings in the USA. These took place in department stores and specialised shops with promotions. Brandy de Jerez has been around since the XVI century and almost certainly longer. It was also popular with the Dutch, and to this day the best spirits are called “holandas”. Unlike the French brandies, it is distilled from wine made from the Airén grape in both pot stills (alquitaras) and column stills depending on the quality required.Luminoso, transparente, de caoba oscuro.

En 1887, la familia Sánchez Romate empieza a elaborar un brandy para consumo privado. Su calidad impulsa pronto una fama creciente y la bodega decide comercializarlo con el nombre de Cardenal Mendoza. El primer Cardenal Mendoza a quien nuestro brandy hace referencia, fue D. Pedro González de Mendoza (1423-1495), personaje histórico central en la España del siglo XV. Como consejero de los Reyes Católicos, contaba con la total confianza de la Reina Isabel, interviniendo decisivamente en el apoyo al primer viaje de Cristóbal Colon y jugando un papel decisivo en la unificación de España.Cardenal Mendoza is a Brandy De Jerez made in the sherry capital of Jerez, Spain. It comes from one of Spain’s oldest sherry bodegas, Sánchez Romate, which was established in 1781 by Juan Sánchez de la Torre and is one of the few remaining family-owned firms. The brandy was first created for the family’s own consumption, and is named for the 15th century cardinal who was counsel to King Ferdinand II and helped arrange Columbus’s voyage to the New World. Mención Especial Cardenal Mendoza: “Milagro”, original de Nicolás Medina Cabrera, residente en Alicante. Behind every bottle, there is a team that puts a huge effort into producing our brandy. This song, Ana’s version of the classic David Bowie song Heroes, is dedicated to each and every one of them who makes Cardenal Mendoza a unique and special product. To all of them, thank you! Bodegas Romate follows a very careful winemaking process starting from Palomino, Airén and Pedro Ximénez grapes with white albariza soil and the Western Andalucian weather acting as a foundation for this wine. The ageing takes place in American oak barrels and the distillation in copper alquitars using the solera and criadera ageing system.

Mención Cardenal Mendoza Non Plus Ultra: “Los trabajos”, original de Javier Izcue Argandoña, de Pamplona. Im Jahr 1877 begann die Sánchez Romate Familie mit der Herstellung von Brandy für den privaten Verbrauch. Der Ruf von der erlesenen Qualität verbreitete sich im Handumdrehen und die Kellerei beschloss, unter dem Namen Cardenal Mendoza auch für den kommerziellen Verkauf abzufüllen.Finally, what would life be without friends, family and music? We wanted to celebrate being able to see each other again, to embrace, to dance, to have fun together at last, after such a challenging year – Ana sings the joyous song Volare. A celebration also for the musicians, family, work and of course... good brandy! Cheers! Offline activities Brandy de Jerez starts as plain-old brandy, typically distilled from the airén or palomino grape, the latter of which is common in sherry production. After distillation, the brandy is aged in American oak butts (a type of cask) that have previously held one of the varieties of sherry—to recap, that would mean a fino, manzanilla, oloroso, amontillado, or Pedro Ximénez—for at least three years.
