Item # 46041 750mL

An unfortified Palido from the Gomez Nevado estate in the Sierra Morena mountains of Northern Andalucía. This blend of Palomino, Arís, and Pedro Ximénez has a lot in common with a fino sherry, but is from a different region that follows its own traditions. Palido means pale, and refers to a local style of flor-aged unfortified wines. This particular bottling has been aged for a shorter span of time, 3-4 years, resulting in a fresher and younger tasting white wine. Pair this salty dry wine with shrimp and fideos.

Staff Pick Notes

70% Palomino Fino, 30% Airén & Pedro Ximénez. 5 Words: Unfortified, Fresh Cacao, Almond, Saline. This raw, flor-aged wine is a collaboration between Bodegas Gomez Nevado and Buelan Compañia de Sacas (a sherry bottling project created by Nick Africano). The Nevado bodega releases a younger, fresher version of their Palido that’s aged for only 3-4 years. This is usually only available locally in Villaviciosa de Córdoba, but Nick worked with Carmen Gómez Cabello to bottle and distribute this delicious, fino-styled vino.

Glossary

Spain

Central to the Spanish winemaking philosophy is the belief that wine should be released only when it is ready to be consumed, and not a moment before. Spanish wine law focuses squarely on this issue: the terms Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva are highly regulated indicators of the amount of time a wine has aged prior to its release. In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the most stringent requirements) red Crianzas must be aged a minimum of two years; Reservas, at least three...

Pedro Ximenez

Also known as PX (thankfully to those of us who have a dislike of words that begin with x’s), this dessert-style fortified wine is made entirely from the highly-sugared Pedro Ximénez grapes. Many of the best examples come from the region of Montilla, and are thus not technically classified as Sherries. PX’s are intensely, almost syrupy sweet, and are ideal drizzled over vanilla ice cream (or over your waffles, if you like to drink in the mornings). If you’ve got a serious sweet tooth, PX is for...

Palomino

Accounting for over 90% of the vine plantings in Jerez, this relatively neutral grape provides the ideal “blank canvas” for the creation of fabulously complex Sherries (much like the Ugni Blanc grape does in Cognac).
