The Palo Cortado Wellington VORS is released by the estimable Bodegas Hidalgo-La Gitana, which is based in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. VORS is a Latin acronym which stands for ‘Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum’ (often unofficially translated as ‘Very Old Rare Sherry’) and signifies that the sherry must be an average age of 30 years or older.
The Wellington 30YO is produced from Palomino grapes from the Balbaina and Miraflores vineyards. Deep amber in colour, it is dry, smooth and rich, offering up delicious notes of dried fruits, citrus peel, spices, toasted hazelnuts, tobacco and smoked salt.

The NV Palo Cortado Wellington VORS is produced from Palomino grapes from the Balbaina and Miraflores vineyards, both in the municipality of Sanlucar de Barrameda, where the winery is also located. The wine has a deep amber color, a profound, clean, subtle nose of candied oranges, ginger, hazelnuts, cigar ash and smoke. The complex palate is very gentle, sharp but not aggressive, with clean flavors, great persistence and a dry finish where the orange rind comes back with a touch of beeswax. An exceptional Palo Cortado. 19% alcohol. 1,000 half-liter bottles are filled each year. Drink 2013-2020. - Luis Gutiérrez

70 years old.Pale amber, with touches of orange and brown. Mahogany wood-polish lift to cooked orange peel, hazelnut fudge, cinnamon spice, hard cheese and chocolate. Intense, powerful palate entry, with spice, toasted hazelnut and some richness of cooked citrus. Such intensity will be hard for some, but this is an exceptional wine with exceptional length. (TJ)
