Test - History of Chateau Tanunda Brandy

The birthplace of Australia’s oldest Brandy in 1890 is the famous Chateau Tanunda, located in the heart of South Australia’s iconic Barossa Valley. After decades of community involvement and support, Chateau Tanunda Brandy remains one of Australia’s most enduring wine products under the care of the same family who have nurtured this iconic Brandy for over a century.

The Chateau Tanunda Brandy Neon at St James Railway Station, Sydney was named one of Sydney’s greatest icons by writer Stephen Lacey in the Sydney Morning Herald, July 2018.

Brandy is a common deglazing liquid used in making pan sauces for steak and other meat. It creates a more intense flavour in some soups, notably onion soup.

In English Christmas cooking, brandy is a common flavouring in traditional foods such as Christmas cake, brandy butter, and Christmas pudding. It is also commonly used in drinks such as mulled wine and eggnog, drunk during the festive season.

Brandy is used to flambé dishes such as crêpe Suzette and cherries jubilee while serving. Brandy is traditionally poured over a Christmas pudding and set alight before serving. The use of flambé can retain as much as 75% of the alcohol in the brandy.
