Product Description
Details
Lustau Palo Cortado Península is a premium Sherry entirely crafted from Palomino Fino by the over-100-year-old Emilio Lustau winery.
This Jerez-Xérèz-Sherry has the aroma of an Amontillado and the body of an Oloroso.
This is precisely the combination that defines a Palo Cortado, probably the most esoteric and misterious type of wine produced in the Jerez region.
A Palo Cortado is born when a wine that was initially intended to be a Fino starts to show some exceptional qualities after being aged for a short period of time.
When that happens, the winemaker usually fortifies the wine with wine alcohol and signals that fact drawing two crossed-out lines (palos cortados) on the barrel.
Lustau Península Palo Cortado was crafted following the traditional soleras and criaderas system.
The whole process lasted over 30 years.

Additional Information
| Appearance | Very bright, low golden-coloured robe with some amber tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Lots of things here. Notes of dry fruit, toasted almonds, some salty touches, remembrances of old wood, notions of coffee, spices, vanilla and cocoa, and some iodine nuances. |
| Palate | Powerful and bold. Toasted hazelnuts, bitter chocolate, arabica coffee, Tahitian vanilla and salty water. Well-balanced acidity and extremely long finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Lustau Palo Cortado Península is a true jewel. A wine unlike any other. |
