It is the backbone of the iconic Jerez wines, especially the sun-drenched Fino and the deeper, more profound Oloroso sherries. This grape, when grown in the region's unique albariza soils - chalky and brilliant white - yields wines with a distinctive character and minerality. The traditional process of aging under a layer of yeast, known as "flor", adds another layer of complexity, producing sherries with a unique nutty aroma and a delicate salinity. Beyond sherry, Palomino wines, when vinified traditionally, can be a revelation, offering crisp, saline notes reminiscent of a coastal breeze. Over centuries, the bond between the Palomino grape and the Jerez region has deepened, creating wines that are not just beverages but narrators of history, culture, and tradition. read more... less

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Palomino wine?
Palomino wine is derived from the Palomino grape, a white grape variety prominently recognized as the principal grape used in the production of Spain's iconic Sherry wines. These wines, especially when crafted as Sherry, exhibit a wide range of expressions, from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Palomino wines are distinguished by their inherent saline and nutty characteristics, a result of the unique albariza soils and the aging process known as "solera" used in Sherry production. Unfortified Palomino wines, which are less common but gaining traction, tend to showcase the grape's natural freshness and salinity, creating crisp and intriguing wines.

Which wine regions make the best Palomino wine?
The Jerez region in Andalusia, Spain, stands out as the epitome of Palomino wine production. Within this region, the "Sherry Triangle," formed by the towns of Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María, is particularly esteemed. This area's unique combination of albariza soils, maritime influences, and a tradition of solera aging creates conditions that are optimal for cultivating Palomino grapes and producing world-class Sherry wines with distinct characteristics.

What are the most popular Palomino wines?
When considering Palomino's most popular wines, Sherries inevitably come to the forefront. Within the broad spectrum of Sherry, Fino and Manzanilla stand out as bone-dry, yeasty, and saline expressions. Amontillado and Oloroso Sherries represent the richer, nuttier side, often aged for longer periods and exhibiting deep flavors of dried fruits, toasted nuts, and caramel. For those with a sweet tooth, Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel Sherries, though not made from Palomino, are worth mentioning due to their luscious, sweet profiles. Bodegas like González Byass, Lustau, and Valdespino are some of the iconic names associated with quality Palomino-based Sherries.

What are the best value Palomino wines?
Sherry, given its intensive and time-consuming production process, often represents incredible value for the complexity and depth it offers. Finos and Manzanillas, even from top bodegas, can be surprisingly affordable, providing a unique tasting experience without breaking the bank. Bodegas like Hidalgo-La Gitana and Delgado Zuleta offer Manzanilla Sherries that are both reasonably priced and of exceptional quality. Equally, many Amontillado and Oloroso Sherries are available at approachable price points, considering their extended aging and intricate profiles.

What are the foods best paired with Palomino wines?
Palomino wines, especially in their Sherry form, have an uncanny ability to pair with a wide range of foods. The saline, tangy notes of Fino and Manzanilla Sherries are exquisite with tapas, olives, almonds, and seafood, especially prawns or anchovies. Amontillado, with its nuttier profile, complements cured meats, aged cheeses, and even savory soups. Oloroso Sherry, richer and more robust, pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, stews, and hearty dishes. For the sweeter Sherries, consider pairing with desserts, blue cheeses, or even chocolate, ensuring a harmonious fusion of flavors.
