VALDESPINO Palo Cortado Viejo C.P.

Valdespino’s take on one of the rarest styles in sherry production. The base is made from palomino grapes from Macharnudo Alto’s vineyard in the Grand Cru area of Jerez. It begins life heading towards the more common fino and amontillado styles but due to its failure to create the special layer of yeast (or ‘veil of flor’), which occurs naturally and without intervention, it is further fortied to 20% and eventually turns into the rare Palo Cortado style.
