Winemaker Notes
Aromatically fresh, reminiscent of fruits such as citrus and aromatic lowland forest herbs, such as fennel and rosemary. On the palate it is fresh and lively, with a certain density.
A great match for fish and shellfish, and seasonal vegetables and rice.
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.
Set of islands off the coast of Morocco and south of Madeira that host a wide range of indigenous and unique grape varieties. Soils are volcanic and recent subsidies from the local government has led to a revival of the islands’ old vines.
