More questions
Fundador Brandy is a distilled spirit appreciated for its exceptional smoothness and depth of flavor. Produced in Spain, a country with a long and revered tradition in brandy production, Fundador stands out as one of the first brandies to be exported from the country. The name "Fundador," which means "founder" in Spanish, reflects the ambition of the house to produce a pioneering and exclusive brandy.
This brandy is made using grapes grown in the fertile lands of the Jerez region. After fermentation, the grape juice is gently distilled and then aged in oak barrels. This process gives Fundador Brandy a palette of complex aromas and a seductive amber color.
Upon tasting, Fundador Brandy is soft and velvety. It offers hints of vanilla and caramel, intertwined with notes of sweet spices and a slight trace of toasted wood, derived from long aging. The finish is warm and lingering, leaving a comforting sense of richness and complexity.
Typically served at room temperature, Fundador Brandy best enhances its characteristics when sipped neat. However, it is also an excellent choice for creating refined cocktails that require a high-quality brandy. This makes it versatile and desirable both for novices and connoisseurs.
In conclusion, Fundador Brandy 70cl is an extraordinary example of tradition and quality, ideal for those seeking a premium distilled spirit for special occasions or as an elegant gift. With its rich heritage and intense aromatic profile, it holds a prominent place in the world of fine brandies.

The story
The Domecq name has been present in the wine and spirits landscape of Jerez de la Frontera since the 19th century and even earlier in local viticultural activities. The 'Fundador' brand was launched by the Domecq family in the 19th century and Bodegas Fundador is historically one of the oldest cellars in the Marco de Jerez. The Domecq portfolio went through several mergers and divestments over the 20th and 21st centuries: parts of the range were integrated into groups such as Allied Domecq and later transferred to different buyers; in 2015/2016 the Spanish business related to Fundador and some associated brands was acquired by Grupo Emperador (Emperador Inc.). Some other historic marques linked to the Domecq group were sold to other operators (e.g. Grupo Osborne, Gonzalez Byass) during various corporate reorganizations.
Ageing
Aging through the solera system typical of the Marco de Jerez; use of own casks and historical maturation in sherry casks.
