Description

Palo Cortado is a rare type of "sherry-style" wine 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. The result is a wine with some of the richness of oloroso and some of the crispness of amontillado.

Tasting Notes Amber colour with copper and greenish reflections. Very intense aroma with tobacco leaves, wood and spices like pepper and clove aromas, notes of citrus peel and fine pastries. Nuts like walnut or hazelnut nuances. On the palate it is dry, but mouth-filling, well-defined acidity that disappears to leave room for a saline sensation. Intense and elegant.

Serving Suggestions Serve slightly chilled, between 12° and 14° C in a white wine glass.This versatile sherry can pair well with oxtail, roasted lamb, spiced partridge, hare civet and well-roasted game. It can also be tasted with appetizers, foie, puff pastry and assorted hams.

Reviews

***93 Points - Wine Advocate by Robert Parker***
Names have changed and all labels are new; they are all named Poley and have a reference to the number of average years the wines have spent in the solera, like the NV Poley Palo Cortado en Rama Solera 25 Años a Palo Cortado, which has 20% alcohol and 25 years of average age. It's nutty, spirity and peachy, with a touch of varnish and a sleek palate, pungent and moderately bitter, very pleasant to drink. All Poley wines now come in 500-milliliter bottles. There's no clear indication of saca or bottling date. 10,000 bottles were produced. Anticipated maturity: 2022 - 2026; review by Luis Gutiérrez 2022
