Cardenal Mendoza Carta Real Brandy de Jerez 40% Vol. 0,7l

Cardenal Mendoza Carta Real Brandy de Jerez is a premium brandy that has been aged for an exceptionally long time, produced by the time-honored Sanchez Romate house in Jerez de la Frontera. Its history began in 1981, when, to mark the bodega’s 200th anniversary, select stocks of Cardenal Mendoza were set aside for a dedicated solera. This gave rise to a Brandy de Jerez Solera Gran Reserva with an impressive average age of over 25 years. Aging takes place according to the traditional criaderas-and-solera method in carefully selected wooden barrels that previously held aged Oloroso sherry. A subtle influence of Pedro Ximenez complements the barrel’s character and contributes to the brandy’s distinctive depth.

The Sanchez Romate winery was founded as early as 1781 and is one of Jerez’s most traditional producers. The name Carta Real commemorates a historic dinner at the Royal Palace in Madrid in 1900, at which products from Sanchez Romate were served. With an alcohol content of 40%, the Cardenal Mendoza Carta Real combines its exceptionally long solera aging with the characteristic influence of old sherry casks. The elaborately designed and individually numbered bottle further underscores the premium quality of this bottling. This makes this over 25-year-old Brandy de Jerez from Spain particularly suitable for connoisseurs of long-aged brandies and high-quality Solera Gran Reserva specialties.
