Harveys Palo Cortado Seco combines the finesse of amontillado with the structure of oloroso. Made with palomino fino from the Pago de Macharnudo and aged in solera since 1906, it is a dry, complex, and persistent wine, perfect for discerning palates.
Harveys Palo Cortado Seco is made from the native palomino fino grape variety grown in the Castillo de Macharnudo vineyards in Jerez. Albariza soils, a warm climate with Atlantic influence, and traditional viticulture define its character. The albariza soil provides freshness and minerality, while sun exposure ensures balanced ripening. Manual selection guarantees the quality of the base wine. This Palo Cortado undergoes an initial biological aging under a layer of flor, followed by oxidative aging in 500-liter American oak casks. The solera and criaderas system, with a solera established in 1906, adds complexity and depth. The wine combines the subtlety of amontillado with the roundness of oloroso, resulting in a unique and refined expression.
Founded in 1730, Bodegas Fundador is the oldest winery in the Jerez region. Since becoming part of the Emperador Group, it has strengthened its commitment to quality and tradition. Harveys, a British brand established in 1796, is now synonymous with excellence in fortified wines. Harveys Palo Cortado Seco is part of its premium range, a true reflection of centuries of the winery's expertise in crafting fortified wines in Jerez.
Perfect with fish stews, game, lamb, Iberian cured meats, and aged cheeses, or to pair with spiced dishes or desserts featuring nuts. Also excellent as an aperitif or in cocktails, thanks to its versatility and dry character.

Bodegas Fundador, founded in 1730 by Patrick Murphy Woodlock, is the oldest winery in the Marco de Jerez and one of the most emblematic in Spain. Over nearly three centuries, it has passed through various owners, including the Domecq family, and is currently part of the Emperador Group, led by Andrew Lim Tan.
The winery has been a pioneer in the production of brandy in Spain, notably launching Fundador in 1874 as the first Spanish brandy. Its facilities include historic bodegas such as El Molino, La Luz and La Mezquita, as well as a distillery in Tomelloso.
The production process follows the traditional criaderas and solera system, and oak casks previously used for Sherry wines are used for ageing. The grape varieties include Palomino Fino, Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel, grown in estate vineyards such as the Macharnudo pago.
The warm, sunny climate of Jerez, together with albariza soils, provides ideal conditions for producing high-quality wines and brandies.
