About Grupo Emperador International Brands

The history of Bodegas Fundador dates back to 1730, making it the oldest winery in the Marco de Jerez. In 1874, the first Spanish brandy was born in its facilities, laying the foundations of a unique tradition. Its distinctive character arises from aging through the Criaderas and Solera system, in American oak barrels previously steeped with Jerez wines, which provide aromatic complexity and an unmistakable profile.

Currently, Bodegas Fundador is part of Emperador Distillers, the holding of the Tan family, world leader in brandy and one of the largest manufacturers of spirits. Under its umbrella, Fundador and other brands such as Terry, Harveys or Espléndido continue to consolidate their presence inside and outside of Spain, reinforcing the heritage and prestige of the Jerez wine culture.
