Earth with John Holden: discovering Fundador
In this episode, John Holden accompanies us to Daramezas (Toledo), a key location in the production process of our brandies de Jerez. The famous and large vineyard placed here is where the Airén grapes, needed to produce the highest quality products, are grown. This grape has been cultivated for centuries, approximately since the year 1700, improving and optimising the techniques used in its growth.Guided by the company's expert employees, you will see the importance that history has in this place, where tradition has continued to be preserved as a symbol of sustainability. It also highlights the sustainable and eco-friendly processes that we implement, from the vineyard to the bottling process, always looking for an optimum final result. This includes monitored humidity and salinity sensors, intelligent irrigation systems that optimise the oxygenation of the water used, as well as its more efficient use, aerial drones for a simpler vineyard supervision, and the use of the falcon, an ancient art, for pest control. Kevin Tan, executive member of Emperador Distillers, to which Fundador belongs, says: "As the world's largest brandy producer, we have a responsibility to take care of our consumers, making the best products for both them and the environment around us. In this way, the heritage of the most traditional methods and the most modern systems merge to create a perfect ecological synergy that is reflected in the quality of all our products, both in the Sherry Cask Collection and in Fundador. As you can see, the world of brandy de Jerez hides many secrets, making it a unique drink. Visit our blog to learn more.Ver esta publicación en Instagram
