Equipo Navazos, La Bota de Palo Cortado Sunlucar #75, Sherry

Item # 27466 750mL

A subtle nose belies the deep burnished color in the glass. Flavors on this true Palo Cortado are rich with toasted nuts tossed in orange peels and dried apricots. Whiffs of smoky tea leaves lead to a pleasantly bitter finish on the palate.

Jerez

Sherry actually gets its name from our anglo-inability to pronounce the word “Jerez,” the town at the southern end of Spain in which the wine is produced. Like Champagne, Sherry can only be called Sherry if it comes from this specific region. That said, there are other “Sherry-styled” wines worthy of note produced outside of the Sherry D.O. (known as vinos generosos). Montilla, lying to the north-east of Jerez, produces some of the finest Pedro Ximénez in the world.
