Sábalo has just been awarded Gold Medal at the 2021 International Organic Wine Awards. An ideal seafood partner, it is a refined, organic white wine made from the Palomino Fino grape variety, grown in the famed Jerez region. Palomino is a grape typically associated with the production of dry sherries long-admired by wine enthusiasts, but the style of this white wine could not be further from a dry sherry.
Fresh, fruity, and floral, this wine is ample and silky on the palate with orchard fruits and attractive saline notes. The grapes are organically grown on the bright-white albariza soils of the Jerez region, which helps the wine retain its freshness and gives subtle minerality to the wines.
Ideal for accompanying meaty white fish dishes such as pan-fried cod, turbot, John Dory, or monkfish, with capers or sauce vierge. Also perfect with mussels meuniere or pasta vongole.
