Food & Drinks

Palomino Fino grape variety originates from Spain, specifically the Andalusian region, where it is primarily used in the production of Sherry. It thrives in the chalky soils of Jerez and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The name “Palomino” is believed to honor Fernán Yáñez Palomino, a prominent figure in Spanish viticulture. This grape variety produces a neutral, low-acid wine that serves as a perfect base for Sherry’s complex aging process. Palomino Fino is also grown in smaller quantities in regions like South Africa and Australia, adapting well to warm climates.

Flavor

Palomino Fino wines are typically light and delicate, with subtle flavors of apple, almond, and sometimes a hint of bread dough. They have a dry, crisp finish and are known for their neutral profile, making them ideal for producing fortified wines like Sherry.

Food Pairing

Palomino Fino wines pair excellently with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp, oysters, and white fish, as well as light tapas such as olives, almonds, and Manchego cheese.
