A palo cortado sherry, a rare variety of sherry that is initially aged under flor to become a fino or amontillado, but inexplicably loses its veil of flor & begins aging oxidatively as an oloroso.

One may say that Tio Pepe Fino came into being for the first time on our 601 hectares of 'albariza' (lime earth) vineyards located on the outskirts of the city, on the exceptional 'pagos' (plots) of the Jerez Superior area. About the first week in September, the Palomino strain used to make sherry is ready to be hand picked & placed in 15kg boxes intended to prevent breakage of the grapes during transport which would set off uncontrolled fermentation, all of these harvesting tasks last about 20 days, during which the reception & vinification plant at ' Las Copas', with capacity to receive one million kilos of grapes per day, swarms with activity. Once in the press, the grape is pressed several times, but only the first ones, that is to say, the softest, most delicate & least intense, will give the ' Yema Must' used to prepare Tio Pepe. Then fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, through which the must will become wine of 12 degree to 13 degree alcohol content. After racking (separation of the sediments, or lees, in the wine), the classification operation is performed by organoleptic analysis; their overseer tastes the wines & an analysis is performed at the laboratory to determine which wines will become finos & which will become olorosos. Those that pass the strict examination we require for our fino Tio Pepe will be fortified by adding wine spirits up to 15 degrees, thus obtaining 'sobretablas Fino', which will lie in American oak casks for a year. The rest of the must will be fortified up to 18 degrees, thus becoming 'sobretablas oloroso'. A year later, a second classification is performed to decide which way these wines will go, the finos remaining at 15 degrees & the olorosos at 18 degrees. That is when the traditional Jerez process of ' Solera y Criaderas' aging begins. ...
