Description
JEREZ, SPAIN: Palo Cortado sherry is a rare variety that is initially aged under flor to become a fino or amontillado, but inexplicably loses its veil of flor and begins aging oxidatively as an oloroso. At this time the wine will be fortified to about 20% abv, to prevent spoilage from contact with the air and ageing continued separately from its original solera. This sherry is on average 30 years old. The result is a wine with some of the richness of oloroso and some of the crispness of amontillado. Only about 1-2% of the grapes pressed for sherry naturally develop into palo cortado. Combines the pure tangy nuttiness of Amontillado with the smooth smoky richness of Oloroso in an elegant complex style.
