Effervescent, bright, with a dank citrusy freshness, this wine is made from 100% Palomino Fino grapes from 15 year old vines — quite an unusual varietal for making table white wine. Refreshing and dry, at 12%, perfectly suited for a mild spring day, the flavor profile subtly reminiscent of sherry simultaneously harkens back to winter, as if saying: sunshine’s coming soon, but stay with the candle tonight.
