Brandy Cardenal Mendoza Gran Reserva White Box Cl 70
In 1887, the owners of Sánchez Romate Hermanos began to develop a different and unique brandy for private consumption. Its quality soon gave the winery a growing reputation, and it decided to market it under the name Cardenal Mendoza.
The brand pays tribute to Pedro González de
Mendoza
(1423-1495), a historical figure que who played a key role in the reconquest of the Muslim kingdom of Granada and especially in the discovery of America, thanks to his intercession with Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile on behalf of Christopher Columbus’ project.
Bright, transparent, dark mahogany color.
Round, clean, elegant, vinous aroma.
Balanced and persistent in the mouth, no edge, very warm.
With personality, nuanced harmony and deep memories of raisins and plums.
Thus is the
Cardenal Mendoza
Clásico, a Solera Gran Reserva made by selecting the best “holandas” spirits from alquitara stills, aged with the traditional system of soleras and criaderas. The set of Cardenal Mendoza barrels, which previously contained Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez, composes one of the largest Solera Gran Reserva cellars, a guarantee of the aging and quality of this brandy.
