Palomino grape

Palomino is a white grape variety primarily grown in Spain's Andalucía region, especially for producing sherry. It has a light, neutral flavor profile with subtle fruity and floral notes, allowing it to serve as a versatile base for fortified wines. The grapes are fairly large and have a golden hue, which is why the wine is often pale. Palomino’s mild character makes it ideal for blending and aging, resulting in complex, nuanced sherries that can range from dry to sweet. Its popularity is mainly due to its adaptability for traditional curing and aging processes in sherry production.
