Gonzalez Byass Tio Pepe Fino NV 750ml

Sherry is a fortified wine produced under strict Denomination of Origin (DO) regulations in the Jerez region of southern Spain. It must be made within the Sherry Triangle, which includes Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. The primary grape used is Palomino for dry styles, while Pedro Ximénez (PX) and Moscatel are used for sweeter sherries.

Sherry undergoes a unique aging process, often using the solera system, a fractional blending method that ensures consistency over time. It ranges from bone dry to intensely sweet, with styles like:

• Fino & Manzanilla – Crisp, delicate, and aged under flor (a protective layer of yeast).
• Amontillado – Aged under flor, then exposed to oxygen, developing a nutty, richer profile.
• Oloroso – Fully oxidized, dark, and full-bodied with deep caramel and spice notes.
• Pedro Ximénez (PX) – Lusciously sweet with flavors of raisins, figs, and molasses.

Sherry offers a wide range of flavors, from almonds and citrus in dry styles to caramelized dried fruits in sweet varieties. It is enjoyed as an aperitif, paired with food, or in cocktails, showcasing its remarkable depth and complexity.
