PRODUCTION AND AGEING
This wine was aged biologically under a veil of flor for 8 to 14 years, becoming an amontillado, before later being designated as Palo Cortado. The whole collection of butts is divided into five criaderas.
Aged in the traditional system of criaderas and soleras. With time, evaporation has made the wine more concentrated and it has gained in complexity.
