WINE DESCRIPTION

Faustino González Cruz Vieja Palo Cortado en Rama stands as an exquisite sherry produced by the prestigious González Byass winery in Jerez, Spain. Crafted from Palomino grapes sourced from the renowned Cruz Vieja vineyard, this Palo Cortado undergoes a unique aging process marked by oxidative and biological aging under flor. Bottled "en Rama," directly from the cask, it preserves its natural flavors and intensity without filtration. This results in a sherry of exceptional complexity, boasting rich aromas of nuts, dried fruits, and caramel. Its bold and intense palate offers a perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and salinity, culminating in a long, memorable finish. Truly a connoisseur's delight.
