Sanchez Romate Cardenal Mendoza Classico 15yo Spanish Brandy 70 cl

Product Information

Any place where wine is produced will produce its own brandy, and many are very good, but there are only three in the world which have legal protection of their name: Cognac, Armagnac and Brandy de Jerez. All three are excellent but they are very different.

Cardenal Mendoza Clásico proved unlike any brandy I’d had before. It retains some of the pleasing hotness and round, robust character brandies are identified with, but adds extra layers of flavor thanks to the notes of dark, sweet fruits and dry spices added through the aging process. If you’ll forgive me for trotting out a tired cliche, it’s a bit of a “you got peanut butter in my chocolate/you got chocolate in my peanut butter” scenario, only for brandy and sherry instead. There was also a Cardenal Mendoza-themed VIP party with 150 key influencers and journalists, focusing on the new Cardenal Mendoza design, with a Halloween touch.

Luminoso, transparente, de caoba oscuro. De aroma redondo, limpio, elegante, vinoso. Equilibrado, persistente en boca y sin aristas. Personalidad, armonía de matices y el recuerdo profundo a pasas y ciruelas. 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. El puertorriqueño Arnaldo Silva es barman desde hace más de 8 años y ha creado un blog para enseñar a los amantes de los cócteles y licores la esencia de las mezclas típicas del Caribe.Sanchez Romate was founded by Juan Sánchez de la Torre in 1781 and is one of the last family-owned Sherry houses. Over two hundred years later Sanchez Romate is one of the oldest bodegas in Spain and one of the remaining wineries in the Jerez Designation of Origin that remains under independent family ownership. A brandy was first produced in 1887 and it is the fabulous Cardenal Mendoza Solera Gran Reserva which has become the family’s flagship brand, although their Sherries follow closely behind! Regulated under the strict auspices of the Consejo Regulador – the Brandy de Jerez regulatory body – and the even stricter controls of the bodegas of Sanchez Romate itself, the Cardenal Mendoza brand surpasses these regulations with ease, making it one of the greatest and most sought after brandies from Jerez.

Vino de un brillante color ámbar. De aroma punzante a avellana con matices de hierbas y tabaco y ligeras notas tostadas, de madera de roble. En boca es muy seco, suave, con acidez equilibrada y un postgusto prolongado en el que vuelven las notas de avellanas y frutos secos. Son vinos muy especiales que tienen una crianza biológica bajo velo de flor seguido de una crianza oxidativa. Cardenal Mendoza, the renowned brandy de Jerez, is aged for at least 15 years in the traditional Sherry system of soleras and criaderas. The brandy rests in casks that previously held Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherries, imparting a deep, rich, smooth taste.

The Caribbean – Coctelera Caribe

Russia had promotions and tastings with end customers in specialised shops, and in Spain tastings were held in department stores and specialised shops with promotions. The Golden Week poster 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. This unique Spanish brandy is aged, like a sherry, in a solera made from casks that previously held fine Pedro Ximinez and Oloroso sherries, imparting an incredible richness & complexity to the spirit. Aromas of raisins and plums dominate the nose, along with notes of espresso coffee and a touch of liquorice. Sweet and fat on the palate, with lots of dried fruit and more raisins and a distinctive, unique taste with a very cultured PX influence and just enough bittersweet coffee and caramel to balance well. The finish is well-balanced, long and nutty. ABOUT THE PRODUCER
