Palo Cortado is one of Sherry’s great enigmas—combining the elegance of Amontillado with the power of Oloroso. Lustau’s Peninsula Solera Reserva is a classic example, aged for over a decade in a traditional solera system in Jerez, and bottled without sweetness to highlight its natural depth.

The nose is striking: toasted almonds, orange peel, dried fig, and a touch of saline tang. On the palate, it’s bone-dry yet mouth-filling, with layers of walnut, caramelized citrus, and subtle oxidative spice. There’s tension between richness and lift, with a lingering finish that echoes with sea breeze and old wood.

This is a Sherry for contemplation or for the table—perfect with jamón ibérico, aged cheeses, or roasted mushrooms. Serve it slightly cool in a white wine glass, and let it evolve with air. Peninsula Palo Cortado is an essential bottle for anyone curious about the deep, savory side of fortified wine.

Robert Parker

96 points

"A mind-blowing sherry is the non-vintage Palo Cortado Peninsula Solera Reserva. Like all Lustau sherries except for the East India, it is made from the Palomino varietal. A dry, crisp, full-throttle, intense sherry offering incredibly complex, nutty aromas, it represents a style that falls between the Amontillado and the more oxidized, heavier Oloroso." —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Decanter

93 points

"Palo Cortado melds the best qualities of amontillado (dry, delicate, walnut skins, hints of flor) and oloroso (caramel, rich, dried figs, more oxidised) in an intense, complex whole. This is concentrated, with nutty spiced fruit cake density and a long chocolate finish. Stock up for festive feasts."
