Criadera Palo Cortado, Sherry
Barbadillo

Founded by Benigno Barbadillo in 1821 Barbadillo are the most important producers of Manzanilla. With 16 ageing cellars full of soleras they make excellent examples of the full range of Sherry styles. This delicious Palo Cortado comes from the younger part (Criadera) of the solera in the small 18th century La Sacristia Cellar and bottled unfiltered (En Rama).

Palo Cortado is one of the rarest Sherries starting life as a Fino or here as a Manzanilla aged unoxidized under the Flor, a blanket of yeast that floats on the surface blocking the air getting to the wine. In Palo Cortado the flor dies, and the wine is exposed to oxidation becoming a dark golden colour, rich and nutty, with the freshness of a Fino but the richness of an Oloroso. …

San Rafael Medium/ Amoroso Sherry
Barbadillo D.O. Jerez
Half Bottle 37.5cl

*95 Points- Guía Repsol 2013*

Mahogany colour with delicate hints of topaz with aromas of dried fruit, plums and raisins. Sweet but well-balanced and beautifully silky palate.

"Obispo Gascon" Palo Cortado 15 year old Sherry
Barbadillo D.O. Jerez
**92 Points- Robert Parker**

*92 Points- Robert Parker*

A 15 year old sherry wine. Attractive colour of antique gold. The aromatic complexity reveals toasted almonds, walnuts and raisins. On the palate it is pleasant, rounded and harmonious. Deliciously smooth and lingering.

The Palo Cortado sherries are particularly special within the Jerez-Xèrés-Sherry Designation of Origin. This is because despite the fact that production follows the similar physical-chemical process of oxidative ageing as with the olorosos, the result is quite different with their organoleptic characteristics falling somewhere between those of an amontillado and an oloroso. …
