DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Emilio Lustau is one of the leading sherry houses of Jerez. Its Peninsula Palo Cortado is aged in Jerez de la Frontera in the Bodega Emperatriz Eugenia, a cellar named for the Empress Eugenia.
It is 100% Palomino Fino, aged in a solera and criaderas system. The wine starts life under a layer of flor yeast, like a Fino or Amontillado. When the flor fades, it carries on ageing oxidatively, and the average age of the blend is about 12 years. That is what gives Palo Cortado its mix of the finesse of an Amontillado and the richness of an Oloroso. Light amber in the glass, with nutty, dry notes of vanilla, mocha and dark chocolate. Dry and very concentrated, with a long, elegant finish. It is 19% alcohol. A serious sherry at a fair price.
Serve it lightly chilled, around 55 to 60°F, in a white wine glass rather than a tiny copita. Pair it with roasted almonds, aged Manchego, cured ham, mushroom dishes or a rich consommé. Once opened, keep it in the fridge and finish it within a few weeks.
Bottle size: 750ml
