Extremely high quality - this is how Luis Gutiérrez from the Wine avocate describes this Palo Cortoda from Bodegas Tradicion. This Paolo Cortado has a little more the character of an Amontillado so with more spirit. Bottling is done no more than once a year and 2,150 bottles have been made from this bottling. This 100% Palomino Vino comes from a very special selection aged in the traditional Solera system for many decades in American oak (this version comes from barrels of 32 years old). The sherry is not blended, caramelized and filtered and is very pure. In the glass the wine reveals a delicate, elegant nose very well structured.

The wine has a beautiful amber gold color in the glass. In the nose, the sherry is very complex with bitter notes, almond, candied fruit and light medicinal notes. The wine is
silky and round on arrival but then comes the complexity with salty taste buds and refined somewhat bitter tones. This is a great companion for (Iberian) pig products such as the Jamon Bellota that we also have in our range. Also great with smoked fish such as mackerel and eel.

Nicolaas Klei chose Elsevier's 65 best wines of 2015 no-nonsense wines. Wines without fuss. Without affectation, without makeup, without pretensions. He says about the sherries of Bodegas Tradición: "Expensive? One small sip will stay with you for hours, and apart from the fino they will stay open for a long time. A glass every day for a month: that is a euro a day for the most fascinating wines in the world. world."
