News from Jerez 1.9.12


A small part of the grapes harvested by Gonzalez Byass are destined for the Tio Pepe Kosher solera. On Thursday a group of rabbis visited to supervise the production of the 22,000 litres of must. Back in 1998 the bodega bottled the first kosher Tio Pepe. To be kosher, the raw material must be inspected, and all production processes and handling supervised by a rabbi. The wine will be labelled as usual but will bear the symbols of the Jewish certification authority and a clear reference in Hebrew to its method of production.
