“Palo Cortado”?

Palo Cortado is one of the rarest and most unique styles of Sherry.
It combines characteristics of two other Sherry types:

• Aromas like an Amontillado (nutty, elegant, aromatic)
• Body like an Oloroso (rich, deep, full-bodied)

This balance makes it complex and very highly regarded.

Tasting Note

• Toasted nuts (hazelnut, almond)
• Orange peel / citrus bitterness
• Dried fruits
• Toasty oak
• Dry, savory, and complex
• Rich texture but still elegant
• Long, nutty finish
