Bodegas Gómez Nevado, Sierra Morena Pálido Dry Seco

Aríz, Pedro Ximénez, and Palomino Fino. Pálido translates to “pale” and is the name for the Fino-style wine, which is fermented with native yeasts in vat, transferred to old amphora and then to a solera where the wine spends an average of 5 years of aging under flor. It is bottled en rama, meaning without harsh filtration or stabilization. This is a fresh, yeasty, salty, wine. Not technically a sherry, as it's produced north of Jerez in the Sierra Morena mountains of Andalucia.
