Description
Palo Cortado is the rarest type of sherry. Combining the aromatics of an Amontillado with the fuller structure of an Oloroso, traditionally Palo Cortado’s started life as a Fino, but casks that failed to develop a complete covering of flor were fortified to 17-18% to kill it off, and then aged oxidatively like an Oloroso. The resulting wine is rich and nutty, full bodied, with a salty tang.
