Since 1946, the Mascaró family has been dedicating to producing premium quality brandy, cava and wine taking care of the completed production processes, from the vineyard until the bottling. Therefore, we made wines specially conceived for distilling.
In our distillery, at Vilafranca del Penedès, we distil in copper pot stills by the traditional Charentais Method of Double Distillation wines of traditional grape varieties from our area.
The grape variety used in the Brandy Vintage is Parellada, typical from the area of our estate. This is a grape variety with low alcohol content and high acidity, a good basis for wines distilled to make brandy.
The wine spirit has been aging in 300 liters French oak casks.
El Brandy MASCARÓ Vintage shows the variability of different vintages. Every batch of production has different characteristics, depending on the variety and the vintage: we are faced with a Brandy for sommeliers.

SERVICE
Between 16ºC and 18ºC.
The grapes we use for our brandies are pressed and vinified in the cellar separated from the rest, as we seek for little alcoholic wines with high acidity and aromas in each variety.
Following the double distillation technique, we distill and age separately the “holland” (wine distilled) of each variety and year, using a manual technique that allows us to give our products a unique personality.
Privé brandy is aged for a minimum of 6 years in Limousin oak barrels, in a process that is totally controlled by a winemaker of the Mascaró family.
The blending operation, the combination of different “hollands” (wines distilled), is handmade so we can obtain a very personal and appreciated brandy in order to satisfy our customers expectations.
