Blog EntryASSORTED SPANISH BRANDY FOR SALESep 13, '07 12:21 AM
for everyone
The word Brandy comes from the Dutch word brandewijn, ("burnt wine"), which is how the straightforward Dutch traders who introduced it to Northern Europe from Southern France and Spain in the 16th century described wine that had been "burnt," or boiled, in order to distill it. The origins of Brandy can be traced back to the expanding Moslem Mediterranean states in the 7th and 8th centuries. Arab alchemists experimented with distilling grapes and other fruits in order to make medicinal spirits. Their knowledge and techniques soon spread beyond the borders of Islam, with grape Brandy production appearing in Spain and probably Ireland (via missionary monks) by the end of the 8th century. Brandy, in its broadest definition, is a spirit made from fruit juice or fruit pulp and skin. More specifically, it is broken down into three basic groupings.

Blog EntrySPANISH BRANDY: FUNDADOR FOR SALESep 13, '07 12:11 AM
for everyone
Fundador means 'Founder' in Spanish. This is an apt name because it was the first brand to be marketed as a 'Brandy de Jerez' way back in 1874. Today it is sold in more than 30 countries and enjoyed by millions.

Wine has been made in the Jerez region of Spain for more than 3,000 years. The distillers' art arrived comparatively recently - with the Moors who reached Andalucia in the eighth century.

Fundador is Spain's largest export brandy, aged in the traditional solera system. Sherry-soaked barrels give the brandy its distinctive taste and warm colour.

The brandy is obtained from grape distillate and then aged in butts of American oak which have previously been used in the ageing of Sherry wines. The ageing system used is known as the Solera system,(fractional blending) which consists of a continuous mix of young brandies with older ones resulting in a brandy of consistent quality.
