Amontillado on the nose and oloroso on the palate, its 30 years of aging grant Apóstoles Palo Cortado the special qualification of V.O.R.S (Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum) by the Regulatory Council of the Jerez Region.
González-Byass leaves its masterful imprint on Apóstoles Palo Cortado, a fortified wine of great complexity and velvety intensity, the result of the perfect fusion between palomino fino, Pedro Ximénez, and American oak.
The renowned Jerez winery González Byass produces this wine from the solera of the Apóstoles, so named because each of the barrels bears the name of one of Christ's 12 disciples. It was Queen Isabel II, during a visit to the firm's facilities in 1862, who inaugurated this centuries-old solera.
The absolute uniqueness of Apóstoles Palo Cortado has earned it numerous awards and recognitions, both national and international, including the award for Best Wine of the Year 2013 in China, according to the specialized magazine Wine in China.
