History
Palo Cortado is the rarest sherry style, arising spontaneously when a Fino barrel's flor dies unexpectedly before the wine is fortified to Oloroso levels. Equipo Navazos specifically searches for these exceptional barrels in established bodegas, buying single botas to release unfiltered as numbered La Bota de Palo Cortado editions.
