The Sorcerer

It comes from fire, magic, and time.

The revolutionary limited production,

Unusually smoky

with a "Cask Finish".

Nebulis is a handcrafted product aimed at lovers of brandies and spirits in general, but especially those who appreciate the smoky, smooth and elegant notes in their glass.

Nebulis is a limited-production smoky brandy created by Sánchez Romate in 2021, elevating the classic Cardenal Mendoza to a new dimension. Its process includes toasting barrels with vine shoots, which imparts a herbaceous and smoky character, followed by aging with 15-year-old Cardenal Mendoza Clásico (Cask Finished). To preserve all its qualities, it is not chill-filtered, resulting in a handcrafted product aimed at lovers of spirits with smoky nuances.

On the nose, the initial soft smoky notes gain intensity over time.

On the palate, spicy nuances of fresh tobacco are appreciated alongside an elegant smokiness imparted by the vine shoots, creating a balanced whole that invites another sip. It can be enjoyed neat in a brandy snifter or over ice, where its aromas and flavors intensify. The result is surprising and evolving.

Nebulis was born from Sánchez Romate’s innovative vision within the world of traditional brandy. Its name, from the Latin word for “clouds,” refers to the smoke generated when toasting the barrels with vine shoots from his own vineyards. This process connects with the origin of the brandy, made from the finest wine distillates, and completes the circle by reintroducing the vine in its final stage, thus capturing the essence of its land and tradition.

Over 240 Years of Tradition

The light and air of Andalusia, its climate, the tranquility of its lands, the warmth of its people, are unique ingredients that shape the treasures of this land. Since the 18th century, for over 240 years, Jerez de la Frontera has been the place chosen by Romate to produce the finest wines and brandies in the world.
