The white 2024 Blanco was produced with Palomino grapes from barajuela soils. It fermented in stainless steel and was bottled unoaked. It has good ripeness and 12.5% alcohol and four grams of acidity. It has not yet developed much aromatic complexity, and in my experience, these wines benefit from at least one year in bottle. This is agile and balanced, with a fluid palate. It was a year with a lot more rain, a mild summer and a late and quiet harvest. We tasted it next to the 2023, which had accumulated drought, and you notice the bitterness and concentration of the year. A total of 27,719 bottles were produced. It was bottled in January 2025.

Varietal

Palomino

Palomino is a white grape variety best known as the primary grape used in Sherry production in Spain’s Jerez region. It thrives in the region’s chalky albariza soils, which help retain moisture in the hot, dry climate, allowing the grape to maintain its naturally low acidity and neutral flavor profile. What makes Palomino unique is its ability to transform through the winemaking process rather than relying on strong varietal character. When aged under flor (a layer of yeast), it produces the delicate, saline-driven styles of Fino and Manzanilla Sherry. In oxidative aging, it develops into richer, nutty styles like Amontillado and Oloroso. Despite its neutrality, Palomino’s texture and minerality make it a fascinating base for these complex wines. Outside of Sherry, Palomino is used in light, dry table wines, though it is rarely as expressive as other white grapes. It pairs exceptionally well with tapas, seafood, and salty cheeses, making it a staple of Spanish cuisine.

Country

Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

Winery Notes

This bright Palomino offers a unique mix of sunny citrus and balsamic depth with notes of anise, thyme, and white flowers. A fresh, tense, and distinctly local wine.
