LUSTAU | PALO CORTADO PENÍNSULA 70cl

Lustau Palo Cortado Península – The frontier of mystery

Product Description

Palo Cortado is the enigma of Jerez, the wine that defies classification, emerging between the finesse of an Amontillado and the depth of an Oloroso. Lustau's Península is born under a layer of flor and matures oxidatively, in a slow transition that carves its complex and elegant soul. A dry, wise, vibrant wine that expresses itself with its own voice from the silence of the cask.

Tasting Notes

Bright amber color with golden reflections. Elegant and penetrating nose, with notes of walnut shell, noble woods, bitter orange, and dry spices. On the palate, it is dry, broad, and lively, with a fine texture and a very long finish, where elegant bitterness blends with the salinity of the terroir.

Pairing and service

Serve between 12 and 14 ºC. Perfect with aged cheeses, Iberian ham, consommés, roasted white meats, or grilled mushrooms. It also shines on its own, as a meditation wine, noble and full of nuances.

A frontier wine, where intuition and time shape its character. Palo Cortado Península is a gem for curious spirits.
