Palomino

Palomino is a white grape variety primarily associated with Spain, particularly the Jerez (Sherry) region in Andalusia, where it is the principal grape in Sherry production. It produces relatively neutral wines with moderate acidity, subtle flavors of citrus, herbs and minerals, and thrives in the hot, limestone-rich soils of southwestern Spain. While primarily used for Sherry production (ranging from bone-dry Fino to sweet styles), it is also found in the Canary Islands and small plantings exist in South Africa, Australia, and California.

Manchego's nutty, slightly sharp flavor with subtle grassy notes pairs beautifully with Spanish wines that complement its origins. The salty, savory character of this sheep's milk cheese creates a wonderful contrast with fruity red wines and finds harmony with crisp whites or oxidative sherries.
