| | Palomino (grape) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The wine formed by fermentation of the grape is low in both acidity and sugar which, whilst suitable for sherry, ensures that any table wine made from it is of a consistently low quality, unless aided by acidification. | | | Palomino is a white grape widely grown in Spain and South Africa, and best known for its use in the manufacture of sherry. | | | Also found in Australia and California where it is also used mainly to produce fortified wines, the grape was once thought to be the Golden Chasselas, a grape grown in California. |

| | Grown elsewhere, the Palomino is a singularly undistinguished grape and is prone to oxidation (darkening and spoiling), but due to the magic combination of soil and the prevailing humidity which allows the growth of the protective flor yeast, Sherry acquires its exceptional dryness and earthy aroma. | | | Huelva's wines are made with the Zalema, the indigenous white grape of the region. | | | While the Palomino grape is used for Sherry, most Montilla is made from Pedro Ximenez, which has a much higher sugar content and therefore gives wines with a naturally higher alcohol content, up to 16 percent volume. |

Similarly, the so-called `Napa Golden Chasselas' grape is in fact the Palomino grape. | | | Consequently, wine made from this grape is entitled to the varietal designation `Palomino' and not to the varietal name `Chasselas.' | | | Held, although a certain variety of grapes may also be locally known by another name, only the true varietal name may be used to designate wine produced therefrom. |
