This is a one-of-a-kind wine. There is no other way to say it.

Palomino is one of the most widely planted white grapes in Spain
where it is typically used for Sherry production, although it is also
made into rather simple table wines that are rarely exported to
the U.S. By contrast, this grape becomes a stellar wine variety in
Texas where it gains a paradoxical combination of crisp
minerality from Texas high mineral terroir and very uncommon
intensity from low yields of less than one ton per acre.

The French term “terroir”, meaning the land or soil, but more
widely known in the wine industry as the flavors conveyed from
the soil and site elements to the wine, is critical in understanding
our wines. In this case, it is important to note that there is a
difference between acidity and minerality although it is often
blurred by even the best wines and palates. It is this factor that
makes this wine an anomaly in the wine world where it is widely
believed that a great white wine cannot be made in a hot climate.
