palomino

(păl'ə-mē'nō)
n., pl., -nos.
A horse with a golden or tan coat and a white or cream-colored mane and tail, thought to have been developed from Arabian stock.

[American Spanish, from Spanish, young dove, perhaps from Italian palombino, dove-colored, from Latin palumbīnus, pertaining to ringdoves, from palumbēs, ringdove.]

A grape variety widely used for wine making, not one of the classic varieties.

[pah-loh-MEE-noh] The grape that makes the great Spanish sherries. Palomino is not distinctive when used to make standard white table wines, but when it's processed to make sherry, it can turn into something special. It's heavily grown in and around jerez de la frontera in the andalucia region of Spain. Palomino Fino is actually the strain that now represents about 90 percent of the planting in the Jerez area, as opposed to the previously favored Palomino Basto (or Palomino de Jerez) grape. Palomino is also cultivated in the hotter growing areas of Australia, California, France, and South Africa, where its Afrikaans name is Fransdruif or simply Frans. At­tempts to make sherry in these regions has produced some good versions of this fortified wine, but they're not the quality of the top Span­ish wines. Palomino is also called Ablan, Listán, and Tem­pra­nilla; in California, it's mistakenly called Golden Chasselas. Australia's Common Palomino is not the same grape as Palomino.

Not a breed of horse but a color type of gold with white mane and tail.

IN BRIEF: A breed of horse having a pale yellow coat and a white mane and tail.

The rancher groomed and saddled the palomino pony.
