The VIIIth edition of
the annual spring release of Tio Pepe en rama is now on the market. The firm’s oenologist and IWC Best
Fortified Winemaker Antonio Flores, made a selection from 60 butts in the La
Constancia and Rebollo bodegas. He chose these barrels as they best showed the
moment when the venencia breaks through the flor and releases the wine’s
wonderful aromas. He is not short of descriptive powers and pronounced the wine
“elegant and aromatic on the nose with the characteristic intense yeasty aroma
of the flor intermingled with the distinct almond notes typical of Palomino
Fino: fresh, complex and intense, salty and expressive, but most of all alive
and wild”. He continued that it is “a version of Tio Pepe that is fragrant,
intense, brilliant, salty and immaculate”. Available in the UK from 8th
May, so it's time to pester your wine merchant.
