WINE MAKING PROCESS
Tradición Palo Cortado 30 Years V.O.R.S. is produced using traditional Sherry winemaking techniques. The process involves an initial period of biological aging under a veil of flor, followed by a crucial phase of oxidative aging. This transition is a hallmark of the Palo Cortado style. The wine is then aged in seasoned American oak barrels within a meticulously managed Solera system. The '30 Years' designation indicates an average age of at least three decades in this Solera, a testament to the extended maturation period. Bodegas Tradición emphasizes artisanal methods and the preservation of time-honored practices in its production.
