Description
This is a vintage oloroso sherry, produced entirely from
Palomino Fino grapes, pure grape spirit being added to arrest
the fermentation, thus retaining the grape's natural sugar,
and obtaining a semi sweet, rich oloroso sherry. Subsequently,
Anada 1989 has been aged for fourteen years in american
oak in Lustau bodegas, sealed, controlled and guaranteed
by the Sherry Council. The wine was bottled at the
end of 2003. Old gold in colour, with penetrating
aromas of dried fruits and a hint of oak. The wine
is soft and sweet, with great complexity, well balanced
and very long on the palate. |

When
To Drink it
Palo Cortado is a relatively rare sherry in that only about
1-2% of grapes pressed in the Jerez district develop into
a Palo Cortado wine, the character of which has the finesse
and delicacy of an Amontillado with the richness of an Oloroso.
Of a light amber colour, this Palo Cortado is dry and has
an immensely rich flavour, with nuances of vaniila, coffee
and dark chocolate. Serve as an aperitif with olives,
nuts, cheese or serrano ham. Also to accompany game
soups, cold and smoked meats, foie-gras and many spicy asian
dishes. |
