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.
