As a Spanish grape variety, Palomino (or Palomino Fino) is mostly known as one of the grape varieties used for the production of Sherry wines.

Palomino is a white grape variety that produces wines with a light yellow to golden colour. Its aroma and flavour profile is typically dominated by delicate floral and herbal notes.

Palomino has been most widely planted in Spain, particularly in the Jerez region and is used to produce many of the country's famous Sherry wines. It is also grown in Portugal, the USA and Australia. Palomino is a hardy and drought-resistant variety that can be grown on a range of soil types. It is a vigorous variety and needs to be kept in check with careful canopy management. As a mid to late-ripening variety, Palomino benefits from a long growing season and warm climates. In the winery, Palomino is often blended with other white varieties such as Pedro Ximénez and Muscatel. It is mostly used to make Sherry, which is made by fortification. In Spain, Palomino is typically made into Sherry. The most popular dry examples are called "Fino" and "Manzanilla". In Portugal, it is used to make a range of styles from simple dry white wines to sweet fortified wines. Palomino's relatively high acidity and mineral character makes it a great match for seafood dishes. It also pairs well with light poultry and vegetable dishes.

Palomino probably originated in the Andalusia region of southern Spain and was supposedly named after one of King Alfonso X's knights.
