Micaela Palo Cortado

Denomination of origin: Jerez-Xérèz-Sherry

Average age: 25 years

Making and aging: These are wines from extremely fine palomino musts, initially topped at 15% vol. and identified with a "palo" or oblique stripe. At the end of the over-tablage phase, the taster's verification of the existence of certain very specific characteristics in some of the butts in which they have been kept with veil of flor, will determine their classification as potential cut palos (illustrated in the butts with a horizontal stripe cutting through the original "palo"). Natural in American oak butts (600 liters capacity) with no added yeast, aged for 6 months on lees. A first year of biological aging and subsequent oxidative aging in American oak barrels
