Winemaker Notes
The wine has remarkable character for a Palomino white; pale golden color, dry with good acidity, toasted maize and honeyed nose with an unctuous sensation on the palate, revealing flavors of yeast, bread crust and a hint of old oak.
The grape responsible for dry Sherry, Palomino also makes a refreshing dry white wine with a light body and low acidity. Still white Palomino wine shows qualities of apple, peach and saline while dry Sherries express almond, baking dough and fresh herb aromas and flavors. Palomino shows high yields even when grown in warm, arid conditions. This quality, combined with its relatively low acidity, make it the perfect grape for Sherry production.
Known more formally as Jerez de la Frontera, Jerez is a city in Andalucía in southwest Spain and the center of the Jerez region and sherry production. Sherry is a mere English corruption of the term Jerez, while in French, Jerez is written, Xérès. Manzanilla is the freshest style of sherry, naturally derived from the seaside town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
