About Agostado Palo Cortado

Agostado Palo Cortado 2017 is a fortified wine, crafted in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, in Cádiz (Spain) using the region's traditional grape varieties: palomino, rey, and perruna de Trebujena.

Agostado Palo Cortado originates precisely in Bajo Guía, a stunning beach in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. There, in a former shipyard — opposite the Doñana reserve — Ramiro Ibáñez has been working since 2015 at his winery Cota 45, where the Cadiz winemaker aims to impart the characteristics of each vineyard to the wine and revive the traditional grape varieties of the area. 

Specifically, with this name, Ibáñez refers to the metres above sea level where he believes the finest albariza, the spongy soil distinctive to the region, is found. This peculiarity aids the vines in withstanding the summer drought, thanks to the water reserves formed during the rainy months.

Regarding the production of Agostado Palo Cortado, Ibáñez adheres to two fundamental principles: spontaneous fermentation and achieving the necessary alcohol content without adding vinous alcohol (a practice known as fortification). Thus, to achieve this natural alcohol, it is essential to start with a high concentration of sugar, obtained through a brief sun-drying of the grapes.

The subsequent minimum aging of two years, alternating between biological aging (under flor) and oxidative aging, makes Agostado Palo Cortado an exclusive choice — only 1000 litres are produced — perfect for experiencing the tradition and soul of the Jerez region.

2019

Agostado Palo Cortado 2019 is a fortified wine that stands out for its elegance and dryness. On the nose, it presents a complex profile with floral aromas and notes of candied fruits, such as bitter orange and plum. Its saline character and good acidity provide freshness, while its persistence makes it an intriguing choice for those seeking a wine with nuances. This Palo Cortado is a clear example of the balance between tradition and sophistication in the world of fortified wines.
2018

Agostado Palo Cortado 2018 is an absolute classic. It is one of those fortified wines that consistently exceeds expectations. Its traditional appearance boasts an antique gold and amber hue, which will be followed by an olfactory bouquet brimming with candied fruit, straw, baked apple, and floral undertones. On the palate, it is dry and saline, endowed with a delightfully tart and flavorful acidity. The finish is sophisticated and protracted.
