Valdespino Palo Cortado Viejo CP VOS is a wine made from Palomino Fino from the renowned farm Pago Macharnudo Alto, which has vines that are more than 25 years old.

Mosto yema (free-run must) ferments in 500-litre American oak butts. After being selected, it is fortified at 18% vol. and aged in "criaderas" and "soleras" under the yeast cap (velo en flor). The last "criadera" is sprayed with selected wines from the first layers (escalas) of Fino Inocente and Amontillado Tío Diego to continue the long oxidative ageing of over 20 years.

Valdespino is one of Jerez's oldest wineries. Mr Alfonso Valdespino was the first member of the Valdespino family to begin cultivating vines and ageing Sherry wines in the 13th century. Valdespino is currently owned by Grupo Estévez.

Valdespino is a reference in the ageing of Sherry wines, known for their traditional methods in the winemaking process.

All of the grapes used to make the Valdespino cru wines come from the farm Macharnudo Alto, which is located about 5 kilometres north-east of Jerez, at 135 metres above sea level, and is planted on typical "albariza" soils. The "albariza" are white calcareous soils that retain a lot of water.
