The 2022 Palomino El Muelle de Olaso is sourced from the renowned El Corregidor Estate in Jerez. It underwent 80% fermentation in stainless steel tanks, while the remaining 20% was rapidly sun-dried and fermented in sherry casks. It then spent up to six months in barrels. Displaying a pale yellow hue, the manzanilla-like nose reveals herbal and nutty notes. Dry and chalky on the palate, the taut and refreshing mouthfeel lingers with a bakery flavor. Delightful.
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
El Muella de Olaso comes from the El Corregidor estate vineyard, where Palomino Fino, Pedro Ximénez, Mantuo & Vijiriega are harvested at night to preserve freshness and prevent oxidation. It is made in the traditional 19th century Vino de Pasto style and sees only a few months of aging under flor. The claim that Palomino and PX are neutral-flavor grapes is proven wrong with El Muelle – a wine with citrussy and tropical fruit flavors, lively chalky minerality, and a touch of herbal tanginess from its short contact with flor.
