Palo Cortado
A rare and refined Palo Cortado from Emilio Hidalgo’s historic soleras, this wine begins life like a fino or amontillado before evolving oxidatively into a uniquely expressive style. Expect bright mahogany colour with hazelnut, toasted almond and gentle spice on the nose, balanced by saline minerality and subtle citrus notes. The palate is dry, elegant and structured, with nutty depth, layered texture and a lingering savoury finish.
Pair with wild mushrooms, roast pork, aged manchego or rich stews. It’s versatile enough with roasted vegetables or marinated olives too.

It’s hard to exactly pin Palo Cortado down, that’s why most have stopped trying. Surprising complexities balanced with delicate curiosities. Bitter orange and citric caramel make a truly unique companion for equally elusive courses or a light cigar to mirror one’s soul in and contemplate adventure.
Goes well with nuts, cured cheeses, stews and gelatinous meats like bull’s tail or cheeks
