Tío Pepe is an icon of the Sherry World. Wine 100% from Palomino Fino grapes, of biological aging and that at least rests 4 years in American oak boot following the traditional Solera system. Due to the fact that the flor protects Tio Pepe from oxygen it has been able to maintain a pale golden yellow colour.
On the nose sharp yet elegant aromas of the yeast from the flor balanced with toasted almond notes typical of the Palomino variety. On the palate, it is completely dry with reminders of almonds, green olives, green apple and slightly bitter. Tío Pepe should be served very chilled, 4 -7 ºC, in a small white wine glass in order to appreciate the full bouquet of aromas. Surprising fresh after 4 years spent in oak with a long and complex finish.
