Tio Pepe Jerez Xeres Sherry

Gonzalez Byass was founded in Jerez in 1835 by Maneul Maria Gonzalez. The Gonzalez Byass vineyards are grown on the albariza soil which is the best for the growth of vines as it has a very high chalk content and therefore a large capacity for maintaining moisture, very important given the long, hot and dry summers experienced in Jerez. The vineyards are 95% Palomino and 5% Pedro Ximenez, making them the only winery to have PX planted in Jerez. All Palomino grapes used for Tio Pepe are hand picked to ensure that they arrive at the pressing plant in optimum condition.

Tasting Notes

An elegant and authentic quality sherry. Pale golden in color, clean and bright. On the nose it is elegant with pungent aromas, a result of the "flor", and almond notes. The palate is full bodied, crisp, and dry with a long complex finish.

Pairing Notes

Good food tastes better with Tio Pepe. Perfect company to many types of cuisine from typical Spanish tapas to sushi. Serve well chilled.
