A single vineyard Palomino from the heart of the Sherry region

What’s the style?

Using old clones of Palomino and is a mix of three different albarizas, chalky soils with high fossil content. The grapes derive from a single vineyard called Las Vegas, which translates to ‘the meadows’. The wine  provides an incredible insight into what Paolomino can achieve when unfortified. Fermenting in older manzanilla barrels without temperature control maintains a savoury character to the wine, to show off Palomino’s ability to demonstrate terroir. A very thin layer of flor develops, hence tasting slightly oxidative. This is deliberate. Palomino is able to withstand slight oxidation. It’s generally quite a neutral grape variety, but takes on the character of the winemaker exceptionally well. 

Interestingly, many notes of Jackfruit come up when talking about traditional notes for Palomino. It’s not native to Europe, and so it’s quite uncommon over here. Though, the fruit contains a chemical compound called acetaldehydes, which you will also find in coffee, breads and extremely ripe fruit. These are all noticeable characteristics in Palomino., too.
