Pajarete

Name for a sweet liqueur wine from Spain, which is also produced or used in other countries. The name derives from the vineyard Monte Pajarete in the municipality of Villamartín in the province of Cádiz in Andalusia, where the wine originally came from. Arrope (a grape syrup) was partly added to this.

Spain

A Malaga wine type; see there.

Chile

In Chile, Pajarete, also known as "sun wine", is an origin-protected sweet wine from the Atacama and Coquimbo areas. It is made from the Muscat d'Alexandrie and País (Listán Prieto) varieties.

Mexico

Mexico also has a Pajarete. One of these distilled spirits is called "Pajarete Tapacío". The "Pajarete de Jalisco" (jalisco = intoxicated) is a popular mixed drink in Mexico. High-proof aguardiente or white tequila, grated chocolate and sugar are added to a glass of fresh cow's milk.

Scotland and USA

Here, sweet wine is called paxarete and is used to add flavour and colour to whisky, which is why it is also called a sherry blend.
