Description
To speak of Palo Cortado is to immerse oneself in the mystery of Jerez. Romate Palo Cortado Regente is one of those rarities that occur almost by accident, when a fino destined to be amontillado takes another path. An unexpected twist of fate that results in a wine with the elegance of an amontillado and the structure of an oloroso.
Behind this jewel is Bodegas Sánchez Romate, one of the most emblematic wineries in Jerez, with more than two centuries of tradition. Its history can be felt in every sip, in every aroma that emanates from the glass.
Elaboration
The protagonist in Romate Palo Cortado Regente is the Palomino Fino grape, grown in the albariza soils, rich in limestone, which absorb moisture like a sponge and return it to the vines on the hottest days. The ageing is what makes this wine special: it begins under a veil of flor, but at some point, as if of its own volition, the flor disappears. The wine is topped up to 17% alcohol and undergoes oxidative ageing in American oak barrels.
A capricious process that, far from being a defect, creates a unique, complex and exciting wine.
Taste
From the very first moment, Romate Palo Cortado Regente plays with the senses. To the eye, it has a deep amber hue with coppery highlights, heralding the richness to come.
On the nose, each inhalation brings something new: hazelnuts, toasted almonds, noble wood and a slight hint of varnish, that elegant touch reminiscent of the old Jerez soleras.
But it is on the palate that all its magic unfolds. Dry, structured, with a balance between power and smoothness, leaving a trail of dried fruits and a slight bitter finish that invites you to keep drinking. It is a wine that can be felt and remembered.
If you try it on its own, every sip is a journey. But pair it with cured cheeses, nuts or honeyed meats such as a cheek with oloroso, and you will see how the experience is multiplied.
Serve it between 13 and 14ºC, and give it the time it needs to open up. Because you don't drink a wine like this in a hurry, you enjoy it calmly.
