Is this from the time when there were only two channels? When phones were just landlines and music was on the radio? And how could we leave out this beautiful companion from late evening until the weekend… video club? Do you remember? We are not here to say that “if you are one of those who go back to these moments and remember the experience, you are an old man.” Nothing like this. We want to say that in these good times, older is better, like Brandy Aldea Velha.
It’s from several Portuguese cognacs aged in oak barrels, for at least two years, resulting in more flavor, character, richness and less “grassy” notes compared to young brandy. Produced for over four decades, it has conquered the Portuguese palate for generations. And this is part of the memories of lunches and dinners at home, with friends, with family, accompanying weekend barbecues and a wonderful movie day.
Good times since 1976
Year of formation of the popular group U2; in which the current Constitution of Portugal was approved; when the 21st Olympic Games in Montreal took place – little context – it was also the year that the Aldeia Velha brandy entered the life of the Portuguese to surprise.
Curiosity…
Aldeia Velha was the first perfume to be advertised on Portuguese television and has since become a reference.
Authentic and rich in tradition, Aldeia Velha is a delicious blend of Portuguese white grape pomace distilled in copper pot stills. Made from a simple and successful recipe.
Aldeia Velha is the perfect choice to enliven moments of fun and delight even the most demanding connoisseurs and gourmets. Even because, if this is the brandy that has been in the collective imagination of the Portuguese since 1976, it can only be “good fruit”.
