Tio Pepe Fino Dry Sherry is one of the most celebrated and iconic fortified wines in the world, a benchmark expression of Fino sherry crafted by the historic house of Gonzalez Byass in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Distinguished by its bone-dry purity, bright acidity, and delicate complexity, Tio Pepe has been a cornerstone of both Spanish culture and international wine lists for over a century. It embodies the quintessential style of fino - crisp, cool, and utterly refreshing.
Produced under the protective layer of flor yeast, a hallmark of fino production, Tio Pepe matures through the traditional solera system, allowing the wine to develop subtle savoury nuance, elegant texture, and layers of fresh complexity. Its versatility and unmistakable character have cemented its status not just as an aperitif, but as a food-friendly wine with an enduring place in pubs, bars, tapas venues, and fine restaurants across the globe.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Pale straw with crystalline clarity and a bright, luminous sheen.
Aroma:
Clean and refined, opening with green apple, lemon zest, and almonds, followed by hints of sea breeze salinity and subtle yeast-driven flor character.
Palate:
Light, bone-dry, and vivacious with sharp acidity and minerally precision. Flavours of fresh citrus, crisp apple, and chalky minerality are wrapped in a distinctive nutty, saline edge derived from the flor ageing.
Finish:
Clean, sharp, and refreshingly persistent, with a gently savoury finish that invites the next sip.
