Vineyard
Currently the Rodriguez Carrasco Family has two vineyards: El Poedo and El Hato.
The vineyard “El Poedo” is located nearby “Los Pagos de Sanlucar de Barrameda”, Jerez Superior area on hills opposite the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, has 47.16 hectares of vineyards, albariza land with permanent moisture from its enclave, providing privileged conditions for vine. The same applies to the vineyard “El Hato”, located on the ring road A-480, which has a small area of 5.7 hectares of land albariza.
Vinification
These are wines produced from very fine must, initially fortified to 15% (MANZANILLA) by volume and their casks are marked with a “PALO” or slash. Once the sobretabla stage is completed, if the tasters note the existence of certain very characteristics in some of the casks in which the flor has been maintained, they will mark it as a potential PALO CORTADO by drawing a horizontal line across the original slash mark. The wine is then again fortified to above 17% by volume, thus redirecting the process of oxidative aging.

Tasting Note
A wine with great complexity which combines the delicate bouquet of an Amontillado with the body and palate of an Oloroso. Chestnut to mahogany in color with a complex bouquet which harmonizes the characteristic notes of Amontillado and Olorosos, reminiscent of bitter orange and fermented butter. It has a deep, rounded, ample palate with smooth, delicate notes, leading to delicious lingering finish.
