The Barbadillo Palo Cortado 'Obispo Gascon' V.O.R.S. appear an attractive old gold color in the glass. A harmonious fusion of aromas reveals toasted almonds, walnuts and raisins. Pleasant and well-balanced on the palate. Mouth-fillingly smooth and persistent.
The V.O.R.S. products represent a selection of Barbadillo's finest wines originating from their oldest criaderas. These are true oenological jewels that are meticulously analysed and controlled by a committee of experts before being awarded the unique V.O.R.S. rating.
Founded in 1821 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Bodegas Barbadillo is now in the hands of the seventh-generation descendants of the founder, making it one of the oldest privately-held companies in any sector in Spain. The firm boasts 500 hectares of vineyards split between two farms, Santa Lucía and Gibalbín, both located in the Jerez Superior viticultural zone. They mature some 31,800 casks of wine in seventeen different bodegas, most of which are located in the Barrio Alto, the most privileged district of Sanlúcar for aging wine.
