The Palomino Revolution: From Great Sherry to Great Still Wines
What would Andalusia be without the great Palomino Fino? As a WSET expert and simply a lover of good wine, I am endlessly in love with this grape variety. Traditionally, Palomino is the uncrowned king of the "Sherry Triangle," used to create great fortified sherries—dry, saline Finos and Manzanillas—through the dynamic aging method of solera and criaderas.
But a true revolution is happening right now in Southern winemaking! The most progressive winemakers have started producing still (unfortified) wines from Palomino.
Where is the magic?
The grapes are harvested from the finest plots dominated by albariza soil—a dazzling white chalk that retains moisture perfectly.
Still wines made from Palomino and aged on the lees (sometimes under a veil of flor, just like sherry, but without added alcohol) are currently the biggest trend among wine geeks. In the glass, an explosive mix awaits you: a salty sea breeze, dried herbs, ripe green apple, chalky undertones, and incredible food-pairing versatility. They are the perfect match for local seafood and jamón.
Why do you need a guide?
You could just come to Spain and pick up a bottle at a local supermarket. Or, you could experience this day in a way that makes it the ultimate gastronomic memory of your year.
I know exactly which doors to knock on so that the owner and winemaker themselves greet us at the entrance!
The internet and guidebooks are flooded with lists of popular, mass-market bodegas and standard tourist spots. But let’s be honest—true treasures never lie on the surface, and the most fascinating experiences are always hidden from the average tourist's eyes.
