Tasting note
Very old, sensational and rare Palo Cortado. The entire yield of this wine goes to the campaign to protect the Donana Nature Reserve. Palo Cortado first ripens like a fino or manzanilla under yeast flour, which protects the sherry from oxygen. However, it loses this layer spontaneously and then continues to mature oxidatively for a longer period of time. In this way, the freshness of a fino and the complexity of a dry amontillado or oloroso are combined.
Culinary recommendation
Perfect as an accompaniment to aged cheese, nuts and Iberian ham. Its complexity and depth also go well with dishes such as foie gras or hearty game dishes.
Vinification
Palo Cortado is a rare sherry variant that first matures organically under a layer of floor yeast. In around 1—2% of the barrels, the lilac yeast disappears unexpectedly, causing the wine to then mature oxidatively. This process gives Palo Cortado the freshness of an amontillado and the complexity of an Oloroso. The Palo Cortado Viejo matures in oak barrels over several decades, giving it exceptional depth and complexity.
