Palomino
Name of varietal: Palomino
Common synonyms: Listan (France), Fransdurif (South Africa), Perrum (Portugal)
Parentage of the grape: native to southern Spain (Andalusia)
History of the grape: Palomino is split into three types: Palomino Fino, Palomino de Jerez and Palomino Basto. All of them are indigenous to Spain, with Palomino Fino one of the most widely planted white grapes in Spain. Legend has it that it was named after a knight in the court of 13th century King Alfonso X. After the Phylloxera crisis of the late 1800s, many native Spanish varietals were replaced with Palomino Fino because it is so easy to grow and adapt. But a resurgence in traditional indigenous white wines emerged in the 1970s and 80s, and Palomino was replaced by the likes of Verdejo and Macabeo and others, except in Jerez where Palomino continues to be a major player in Sherry production (for more information, please see Jerez). The grape is very low in acid and color, and tends to oxidize easily. For this reason, it is Read more »

Paulo Laureano Red Blend Alentejo Reserva 2007
Snoothrank:
This Portuguese white reserva possesses an interesting and complex aroma of tropical fruit, tangerine and spices. fresh and fruity upfront, followed by a buttery and velvety finish. I enjoyed this with a light pasta primavera but it was suggested to accompany full flavored fish dishes, poultry, and most pork dishes. Read More

OK, expect several other Bordeaux chateaux to experience price rises in the near future. We saw it happen when the Chinese went gaga over first growths, as well as DRC.

Paulo Laureano Singularis Portugal 2007
Snoothrank:
Nice aroma's of plum and smoke on the nose. Very much the same on the palate, good quality of red and dark fruits, mild spice and smoke. Quickly evaporating finish brings this down to earth, but it's a very good food wine at a modest price. Read More

Bolla Grillo NV
Snoothrank:
Robusto! A hearty white wine that can tackle a bit more of the stronger flavours with a dinner like seasoned lamb. It's a wine that straddles the boundary between dry and wet, while maintaining a steady stance on it's own individual merits. Excellent palette cleanser that's bound to get noticed. Read More
