Tasting Notes

Bright amber color, between gold and dried peach. On the nose, it unfurls stone fruit—apricot, quince—citrus peel, an echo of light honey and subtle moss, with a hint of candied orange . On the palate, it displays an unexpected tannic texture, fresh acidity, medium body, and a long finish, slightly bitter, saline, and spicy.

Food Pairing

Perfect for dishes with Mediterranean roots: briny rice dishes, smoked fish, aged cheese, goat cheese, mushrooms, and garden tapas. It combines textures with dishes where its tension and depth shine.

Palomino Orange Wine 2021 is a fragment of liquid light, where the whiteness of the grape embraces the skin to reveal its hidden dimension: amber, tannic, and full of stories from the vineyard.
