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 completely dry with reminders of almonds.
Surprising fresh after 4 years spent in oak with a long
and complex finish

The Palomino grapes destined for Tio Pepe are pressed using pneumatic Wilmes
presses therefore obtaining the highest quality must. Only the ‘mosto yema’ the free
run and first press must is used for Tio Pepe. Following fermentation to between
11% and 12% alcohol the wine is fortified to 15.5% alcohol and then enters the Tio
Pepe solera. Due to the 15.5% alcohol and the unique temperature and humidity in
the Jerez cellars a layer of yeast known as the ‘flor’ will form on the surface of the
wine. In order for this flor to form properly am empty space of 100 litre is left in
the cask. This flor is the most important influence on the Fino wine as it protects it
from oxygen and gives it it’s unique aroma and character. The wine remains for a
minimum of 4 years following the traditional Solera system under the flor.
