Those wines that are quite clean to the nose, so as to be similar to the Amontillados, while having the thickness associated with the Oloroso to the palate, are designated as "Palo Cortado". Its name, which means crossed stick, refers to the chalk mark that the cellar master inscribes on the barrel to indicate its developement. They also follow an oxidative aging process, such as a Oloroso, so we can say it is a particular type of Oloroso.
Palo Cortado is a wine of a bright mahogany color, almond-like aroma, dry palate, balanced. elegant and very persistent.
As for their serving temperature, apply the same as the Amontillado. Some people prefers cellar temperature or cooler, other people belive that room temperature helps to open them up and we recommend to drop the temperature according to the richness of the wine.
ROBLES PALO CORTADO WINE is a good illustration of this type of Spanish wine and tipical of tour of the wines of Spain.
