PDF258's Palomino-except-PX shorthand conflicts with later Moscatel coverage. Source statements on flor thresholds and vinegar, pale cream/arrope, origin dates, fortification exceptions and regulations are not an authoritative current process specification.

Retain this production distinction when selecting cask-reference styles. https://www.sherry.wine/sherry-wine/sweet-sherry-wines/pale-cream
