TASTING NOTE

Dos Palmas sits at the mid-point of the Palmas progression: the flor is still present but beginning to thin, and the wine has gained complexity without yet surrendering its biological roots. Drawn from a small number of butts — sometimes as few as two or three — at around eight years of age, it is bottled unfiltered and released as a limited edition en rama Fino each autumn.

The nose is generous and saline, with more spice than Una Palma and a deeper nutty register: hazelnuts and toasted almonds alongside the lemon and hay that define the style. The palate is broad and intense, with a greater sense of concentration. The flor influence remains dominant, but the first whispers of oxidative development begin to emerge at the edges — a hint of wax, a suggestion of old wood. Grandeur balanced against precision: González Byass considers Dos Palmas the most complete expression of balance in the range.
