๐ช๐ธ Andalusia - a large agricultural region of hills and rivers in Spain ๐ - is where the Palomino white grape comes from. Palomino is principal in the production of Sherry wines, which predominantly happens in Jerez ๐- a city in Southwestern Andalusia.
For Sherry wine, it is vital that the grapes used for its production have low acidity and high pHโฆ and this matches perfectly with Palominoโs characteristics โ
. Palomino ripens early in the year and it shows full ripeness around September. It also accounts for almost 95% of Sherryโs produce!
When it comes to food pairing, Palomino naturally goes best with Spainโs local marine cuisine ๐๐. Are you thinking of hosting a Spanish themed dinner for your close ones this summer? โจ Then you might be interested in Eleanor's suggestion: the appetising combination of Sherry Manzanilla Classic Dry Jerez DO - Fernando de Castilla and Spiced mussels with chorizo ๐คค. Manzanilla is the wine of the sea ๐- always served chilled (so an ice bucket would be your best friend to keep the Manzanilla at its best! ๐ง), and it is a great choice for a lovely summer dinner! ๐ฅฐ๐
