"Barbadillo is somehow a specialist in Palo Cortado, and they now offer a younger, gentler and more straightforward NV Palo Cortado Criadera Selection from the Tío Río solera. It's an elegant oxidative wine, with an average age of 14 years, with a peachy nose, gentle and tender, but with a more saline and sharper palate with a bitter twist in the finish. It has an Oloroso nose and an Amontillado palate. 906 bottles were filled in March 2024."
Product Description:
"100% Palomino sourced from particularly fine musts and aged primarily oxidatively for a total average of about 10 years in old American-oak botas which are sourced from criaderas in the Sacristía bodega and Bottled en rama (minimal filtration).
More about the Sacristía bodega: La Sacristía is a small cellar within La Casa de Cilla. Built in 1782, this Andalusian-style building was at once a palatial home, a warehouse, and an administrative center for tithes paid to the church until 1841. La Sacristía is situated next to a Moorish patio of graceful arches and columns, and holds some of the finest and rarest palo cortado in existence—much of which is over one hundred years old."
