The 2022 Palomino from The Finest Wines Available to Humanity offers a fresh perspective on Jerez's winemaking heritage. Crafted in collaboration with winemaker Raúl Moreno, this wine is sourced from organically farmed Clone 84 Palomino vines in the esteemed Balbaína Alta vineyard, located in the heart of Jerez's Marco de Jerez. The vineyard's albariza soils, rich in chalk, are renowned for their ability to retain moisture and reflect sunlight, providing ideal conditions for Palomino cultivation.
The winemaking process is meticulous: grapes are handpicked, foot-stomped, and fermented in whole bunches for approximately 10 days. The wine is then gently pressed and aged for seven months under a veil of flor in a 700L chestnut amontillado cask, followed by additional maturation in tank. The result is a wine that is unfined, unfiltered, and with minimal added sulphur (<40mg/L).
Tasting Notes: The 2022 vintage presents a complex profile with notes of ripe apple, white pepper, and subtle spices reminiscent of fenugreek and curry leaf. The palate is textured and savoury, with a finish that lingers, showcasing the unique character of the albariza terroir.
Food Pairing: This wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as grilled sardines, seafood paella, or aged Manchego cheese, highlighting its versatility and depth.
