Smell: complex but balanced aroma, we can perceive notes of noble wood and a constant reflection of the vinosity provided by its careful maturation process. So, Fundador is a brand with a lot of history, but nowadays also a very high-volume producer with different ages and different levels of quality under one umbrella, I would say. Currently they produce a whole range of Fundador brandies, from light spirit drinks (which don’t follow the regulations of the D.O. Brandy de Jerez) over the classic Fundador Solera and double matured versions to the Fundador Supremo series which includes 12, 15 and 18 year-old expressions matured in different types of sherry casks. There’s also a Solera Gran Reserva Fundador Exclusivo. Due to its popularity Domecq was also the first to adopt the more efficient column stills in 1890, leaving behind the double distillation in pot stills or alquitaras. Its popularity also led to the use of Airén grapes grown in La Mancha, where the bodega still has its own distillery in the town of Tomelloso. In fact the rising popularity of Spanish brandy in general meant Airén became the most widely planted grape in the world at some point.

The name "Solera" refers to the name of the barrels that are placed closer to the ground, in which the wine ages in its most mature stage, after having passed through two other barrels called "criaderas". For this reason, this distinctive feature gives the wine a certain complexity and duration that make it special. Bodegas Fundador seeks to reach the general public with this product without losing, far from it, the quality and tradition that define it. The maturation in sherry casks and the careful process by which this winery, truly expert in its task,carries outuntil it reaches the final product we enjoy, make it something really special.
