Barbadillo Peach Brandy 500ml

When we tried a sample of this from the distillery we couldn't help but bring a few bottles to Australia for everyone to enjoy.  A brandy based liqueur with peach extract and aged in oak casks.  This comes from a recipe that belonged to Beatrix of Saxony, wife of Prince Alfonso of  Orleans and Borbón, one of the first spanish aviators, who, in collaboration with Barbadillo began to make this liqueur in Spain, much of which ended up in the Royal Household. The depth and complexity of the aged brandy combined with the smooth peach flavor, makes for a perfect aperitif or after dinner drink, on the rocks or with sparkling wine.  Pop by the store to give it a try or secure yourself a bottle now.

The History

Barbadillo's rich history dates all the way back to 1821, when they first embarked on the journey of crafting exceptional Manzanilla wine. Since then, they have become renowned for producing some of the finest wines and brandies in the world. Today, Bodegas Barbadillo is proudly operated by the seventh-generation descendants of the founder, solidifying its position as one of Spain's oldest privately-owned producers.
 

With a total of 500 hectares of vineyards across two picturesque farms, namely Santa Lucía and Gibalbín, Barbadillo holds a prominent presence in the esteemed Jerez Superior viticultural zone. Within these beautiful estates, they carefully cultivate their grapes, ensuring the highest quality for their wines. The maturation process takes place in an impressive collection of around 31,800 casks, housed in seventeen distinct bodegas. Most notably, these bodegas are located in the esteemed Barrio Alto district of Sanlúcar, widely regarded as the most prestigious area for aging wines.
 

Through their unwavering dedication to tradition and craftsmanship, Barbadillo continues to enchant wine enthusiasts with their exceptional offerings, a testament to their illustrious legacy and unwavering commitment to producing world-class wines and brandy.  When the opportunity arose for us to select our very own Barbadillio Grand Reserve Brandy we did not hesitate.  We also thought it would be remiss of us not to add a few extra treats on the boat as well, so we are proud to present a new range of brandy and wine from one of Spain's premier producers here in Australia for the first time.
