The poster of Cardenal Mendoza Golden Week 2023
Through this year's poster, we wanted to transmit that "Golden hour" that characterizes the moment of enjoyment of our appreciated brandy Cardenal Mendoza. All this represented with Cardenal Mendoza as the main actor and source of liveliness. Poster created by the Jerez artist Daniel Diosdado.
Another year of awards
Cardenal Mendoza has once again demonstrated in 2023 why it is the top choice of brandy for many mixologists around the world.
We are proud to have been ranked in the categories of Top Ten Best-Selling Brandy y en los Top Ten Trending Brandy in the Drinks International Brand Report 2023.
An award that makes the fifteen years of aging in American oak barrels that Cardenal Mendoza's authentic Gran Reserva Sherry brandy requires, a long artisan process that transmits its sophisticated woody nuances, and the more than 200 years of passion and effort for creating a brand of the highest quality have been worth it.
