The 4th in the series, the 2013 Tio Pepe en Rama
has been launched in the UK at the Big Fortified Tasting in London today. En
rama Sherry undergoes the least possible stabilisation and filtration, leaving
the wine in a state similar to that in the solera, and far more complex than
the normal wine. Chief winemaker at Gonzalez Byass, Antonio Flores, describes
it as “untamed Tio Pepe”. This year’s release has more flor character than usual, due to the
mild and wet winter and spring which makes the flor grow thicker. The wine was
bottled on the 8th of April, and being en rama, should be drunk
sooner than the normal wine, ideally about 3 months.
RRP is £14.99. Only
10752 bottles have been released along with a few half bottles, so don’t hang
about!!
