Tio Pepe En Rama 2020 launches in Ireland
González Byass has launched the 11th edition of its unfiltered and un-clarified Fino, Tio Pepe En Rama. The annual spring saca of Tio Pepe En Rama has been characterised this year by an abnormally mild, dry winter, which gave way to a cool and rainy spring, creating the perfect condition for the healthy growth of the ‘flor’ yeast which covers the Fino. As in previous releases, Master Blender Antonio Flores, has selected barrels from the historic cellars of Constancia and Rebollo, carrying out the initial selection of 200 barrels before narrowing it down to 69 just prior to bottling.
“This is one of the most spectacular editions of Tio Pepe En Rama that I have had the fortune to select,” states Flores. “At the bodega we view the biological ageing of the sherries as our second terroir. It is this second terroir that enables us to maximise the unique character of the albariza soil– a delicious chalkiness with almond and floral notes – resulting in a seductive cocktail of flavours.”
Bottled on 5th April 2020, this super-fresh Fino is available in, 75cl formats in Ireland.
This year the company will donate a percentage of the proceeds from the sales of this year Tio Pepe En Rama to the professionals involved in the restaurant, bar and hotel business, that has been so badly affected by the crisis.
González Byass range of wines which includes Tio Pepe En Rama are distributed in Ireland by Barry & Fitzwilliam
