Tío Pepe Fino Sherry - 75 cl

🍾 Why is Tío Pepe Spain’s most famous fino sherry?

It was 1835 when a young Manuel María González Ángel, just 23 years old, launched into the wine business in Jerez de la Frontera. The man who taught him all the secrets of the trade was his maternal uncle, José Ángel y Vargas — and in gratitude, Manuel María named his first solera "Solera del Tío Pepe" ("Uncle Pepe’s Solera"). The name stuck forever.

In 1844 English merchant Robert Blake Byass joined the business, giving rise to González Byass and kicking off an expansion that today takes Tío Pepe to more than 115 countries. In 1886 it became one of Spain’s first registered trademarks.

🍇 How is this Jerez fino made?

Tío Pepe is made from Palomino Fino grapes, aged under the "flor" — a layer of yeast that protects the wine from oxygen — within the solera and criadera system for around 4 years.

The result is a pale straw-coloured wine, very dry, with sharp, delicate aromas reminiscent of almonds and chamomile, and that saline touch so typical of Jerez.

🍽️ What food pairs well with Tío Pepe?

It’s the aperitif par excellence, served well chilled in a narrow glass. It pairs especially well with:

• A good Iberian ham, the classic pairing of any Jerez bodega

• Some organic Arbequina olives, the timeless aperitif classic

• Seafood, fried fish or cured cheeses
