Vino de Pasto refers to traditional unfortified white wines from the Jerez region in southern Spain, historically produced with local Palomino Fino grapes and other native varieties. Until the late 19th century, these wines were common table wines, often aged and similar to the base wines used for sherry production, known as sobretablas. However, after the phylloxera epidemic and the establishment of the Denomination of Origin (D.O.) for fortified sherries in 1935, Vinos de Pasto fell into decline and were largely forgotten.
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in these terroir-driven wines, with winemakers like Equipo Navazos, Callejuela, and Luis Pérez reviving the style. They emphasize authenticity, traditional winemaking techniques, and the unique albariza soils of the region. While still outside the official D.O. system, the creation of a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) for Vino de Pasto is being considered, reflecting its growing significance in the Jerez wine landscape.
