The company’s story describes its brandy as a later chapter in that history: production began in the early 20th century, and the flagship “El barquito” was launched in 1951. In 1989, the Barceló family became majority shareholder and took charge of management; the Barceló and Mora families have collaborated in the business since then. Suau describes its brandy-making method as beginning with gently pressed Airén grapes, followed by fermentation, distillation and slow maturation through a solera and static aging system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe neat after a meal as a digestif.
