Description

Fino lovers, this is one limited bottling you should not miss. We have priced this lower than the standard Tio Pepe available in Singapore!

Tio Pepe 'En Rama' is Fino in its purest form - unfiltered, unclarified and drawn from the middle of the cask during the Spring, when the 'flor' growth on the wine is at its thickest. A strictly limited release, and for only the second time (the first being last year to celebrate 175 years of Gonzalez Byass), this is a sherry in its most natural and delicate state, harking back to the days when sherry was drawn straight from the butt for consumption, and must be drunk before the end of the summer. Pale yellow with olive green and golden reflections. Powerfully aromatic with a distinctive 'flor' (yeasty) character, intensified by the unrefined nature of the Fino. Savoury and long flavours, with a clean, citrusy finish. Drink this chilled from a wine glass or large 'catavino' with salted almonds, shellfish, grilled fish or for a fantastic treat a plate of 'pata negra' ham.

"I confess that until last year, although I didn't actively dislike sherry as such, I was in the take-it-or-leave-it camp. Then last year, Gonzalez Byass celebrated its 175th anniversary with its first-ever, limited production of 174 cases of its Tio Pepe en rama. En rama is lightly filtered, unclarified fino taken from the middle of the cask during spring when the flor yeast is at its thickest; it should be drunk at its very freshest.
I bought six bottles and couldn't get enough of its bone-dry, savoury-salted caramel tang. The launch was so successful that Gonzalez Byass have bottled a second lot of en rama, launched on Thursday."
(Anthony Rose, A fino romance, 21st May 2011)

"Tasted by abh on 5/27/2011: Just incredibly good, a wonderful honeyed complexity on the nose and fantastically concentrated, lean, tart palate. Genuinely exceptional, and I've had plenty of serious sherry. Can't remember a better wine for the price. (66 views)"
