This is a superior Fine Marivaux to please the most discerning brandy lover. Unlike brandies from the Jerez area, Antonio Mascaro use the Charentrais method instead of the very Spanish Soleras method. Using the double distillation of this method, the producer looks for softness and flavour. And they excelled themselves here. This is a very mellow Marivaux, which reminds us more of an Armagnac than a Brandy. Superb aroma, better taste and very different!
Sanchez Romate is a small bodegas founded way back in 1781. Naturally, having been around for so long, their vineyards are on some of the best land in Jerez. This 15 year old Cardenal Mendoza positively oozes aroma and taste and is, without a doubt, one of the best Spanish brandies money can buy. Very difficult to fault.
