This exciting sweet wine owes its name to the grape it is obtained from, grapes that are dried to concentrate their sugars in the ancient process known as asoleo. This very special wine is created using the same oxidative ageing method through the soleras and criaderas system.
It has a median age of 22 years. This ageing bestows dried fruit aromas on the wine, counterbalanced by toasted notes from the oak ageing and acidity that prevents it from being overwhelmingly sweet.
Annual Bottling Capacity: 3,000 bottles per year.
Aromas of dried fruits, figs and plums. Hints of black licorice, straw and dried tomato. It is smooth, dense, silky and full. The passage through the palate and throat is not heavy, inviting another sip. The last touch is an aftertaste of chocolate, licorice, coffee and toffee.
It could be said that since the wine is so sweet and concentrated, it could be a dessert in itself. Molten chocolate cakes or souffle’Ѓ are a stupendous match. It is wonderful with Christmas sweets, creamy (low acidity) deserts and surprising with creamy blue cheeses such as Roquefort, Gorgonzola or Treviso, or goatду»s milk cheeses such as Ibores or Grazalema.
Once opened, the wine can last up to 12 months, always maintaining the bottle in a vertical position, at cellar temperature (60°F, 16°C) and in a dark place.
Palo Cortado is a very special wine, both elegant and unique, which comes from certain Jerez wines which are particular for their fermentation and ageing in oak barrels where their atypical characteristics were developed: elegant in the nose and full in the mouth. One of the classic Palo Cortado from that time is that which we find in our Palo Cortado Tradiciн_n VORS; a subtle, delicate wine, which, after losing the flor, has finished its ageing process in contact with the oxygen. With an average of 32 years of age, it is the subtlest and youngest of our dry wines.
This is a wine in full maturity, the result of lengthy ageing under “flor” – a veil of yeasts, in American oak barrels using the solera and criaderas system.
Very dry, it denotes a salinity, complexity, intensity and length that is hard to compare, offering a long persistence on the palate. This is a rare breed of fino that is pure, serious and traditional.
Amontillado is a classic Jerez wine, which had an initial biological ageing phase under flor, followed by an oxidative one. This combination in its ageing makes amontillado wines very particular, remarkable for the biological ageing character despite having spent many years in contact with the air. Our amontillado, with an average of over 43 years of age, is the result of a blend of a selection of soleras from Jerez, El Puerto de Santa Marн_a and Sanlн_car, and has some unique characteristics.
