Cardenal Mendoza Non Plus Ultra is a Solera Gran Reserva Brandy, the winery’s flagship product with an average age of 50 years. Our Cardenal Mendoza Carta Real Brandy, already 25 years old, is used to season the American oak casks of Cardenal Mendoza Non Plus Ultra, which have previously been seasoned with aged Oloroso Sherry wines. This extended aging period allows for the development of many nuances in a highly sophisticated Brandy, bottled in an elegant decanter.

The story of Cardenal Mendoza Non Plus Ultra, our oldest brandy, begins in 1971. Ten years before the Bicentennial, which would take place in 1981, 38 casks of the most exclusive and highest quality brandy were reserved to commemorate the anniversary of Sánchez Romate.
After several decades of aging, the inimitable result is our Non Plus Ultra, a brandy that is a true evocation of the more than two centuries of experience of Bodegas Sánchez Romate.
Only 38 barrels of the most exclusive and highest quality brandy were reserved to commemorate the anniversary of Sánchez Romate.
