Gonzalez Byass Sherry Leonor Palo Cortado 12 Yr 375ML
Leonor is a 12-year-old Palo Cortado which can be described are the wild child of Jerez. This wine shows a light mahogany color with golden tones and a slightly orange rim. On the nose intense and complex with notes of hazelnuts perfectly balanced with bitter orange and mature oak. On the palate powerful and intense yet delicate and elegant with toasted notes and a smooth and silky texture. Due to its powerful structure this Palo Cortado is perfect with mature cheese and strong meats such as venison. Serve slightly chilled.
Gonzlez Byass was founded in 1835 by Manuel Maria Gonz lez and remains in family hands today, now in the fifth and sixth generation. Founded in Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia, in the heart of Sherry country, it is dedicated to the production of high-quality sherries. The Sherry triangle, made up of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Sanlucar de Barrameda, has a unique microclimate influenced by the surrounding Atlantic Ocean and Guadalquivir and Guadalete rivers. Production is dominated by the Palomino variety, and vines are planted in the white Albariza soil, with high chalk content which is excellent for retaining moisture. These soil conditions, combined with over 3,000 hours of annual sunshine, fresh, humid breezes from the west (poniente) and warm, dry breezes from the east (levante) have formed the perfect marriage with the Palomino variety to produce an array of sherry styles. All sherries are aged following the traditional Solera system where the wines are blended in 600 liter American oak casks. Many styles are produced with distinctive characters depending on whether they have been aged under the influence of the flor (a layer of natural yeast) or as an oloroso (in contact with oxygen). Today the portfolio includes a wide range of sherries including Tio Pepe, the Superior Range and the VORS range, enological gems aged for over 30 years.
