Life Style / Wine Grapes / Palomino: Has synonym names List?n Blanca and Jerez. White-wine grape widely grown in Spain and mostly used for Sherry-type fortified wines. Currently the Palomino Fino clone has been adopted as best for sherry production as opposed to the Palomino de Jerez clone once widely grown. Vigorous and drought resistant the variety is susceptible to mildew diseases and anthracnose, doing best in dry climates, producing juice that is low in acids and sugars. Identical to the Listan variety found in France. Reducing amounts are also grown in Argentina, Australia, California and South Africa where it was also mainly used to produce fortified wines. The grape was once thought to be the Golden Chasselas, a table grape, where grown in California. The wine-must has tendency to oxidize quickly, a characteristic that can be ignored when used for sherry production.
