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.
A blog and review on all things Sherry. It is about tasting, enjoyment and learning more about the World’s Finest Wine. "Sherry is a thoroughbred" as Javier Hidalgo rightly puts it. Included are the amazing local Brandies and the remarkably good table wines also produced in the province of Cádiz.
