Spec sheet
The wine
The Valdespino range of old wines is a range of unique sherries, matured over periods of more than 20 years (VOS, Vinum Optimum Signatum 'Very Old Sherry') or 30 years (VORS, Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum 'Very Old Rare Sherry’); these are wines with considerable character - intense, complex and profound.
The Palo Cortado Cardenal is made with grape must and Finos that originate from the Macharnudo Alto vineyard. A very old sherry, yet finely balanced and profound, around half a century old, exhibiting aromas of incense and spices, powerful, saline and well-defined.
