Product Description
Details
A varietal Palomino, González Byass Leonor Palo Cortado is a quite unique Spanish fortified wine produced by bodega González Byass.
The originality of this Palo Cortado from Jerez comes from the fact that, while the nose shows the typical characteristics of an Amontillado, the palate is similar to that of an Oloroso.
Meticulously crafted, this dry fortified wine underwent an oxidative aging process for over 12 years in the traditional soleras and criaderas system.
Pair González Byass Leonor Palo Cortado with white meat, fish recipes and blue cheese.
