Unveiling the Essence of Fino: Tasting Notes

The beauty of Tio Pepe Fino en Rama lies in its unfiltered nature. This bottling bypasses filtration, preserving the wine's natural character and offering a vibrant expression of Fino Sherry. Upon pouring, you'll be greeted by a pale straw colour, shimmering with a hint of green. On the nose, a symphony of aromas unfolds – expect a delightful interplay of fresh citrus notes, reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit. Hints of toasted almonds and a subtle yeasty character add complexity, while the signature Fino salinity provides a refreshing balance.  

The wine explodes with a burst of fresh acidity, leaving a clean and invigorating sensation on the palate. The citrus notes from the nose translate beautifully, mingling with flavours of white flowers and a touch of minerality. The fino flor, a layer of yeast that develops on the surface of the wine during ageing, contributes a subtle nutty character, adding further intrigue to the flavour profile. The finish is crisp and dry, leaving you wanting more.

The convenient half-bottle format of Tio Pepe Fino en Rama makes it perfect for solo enjoyment or sharing with a friend. Serve it well chilled, ideally between 8-10°C. This temperature range allows the wine's delicate flavours and refreshing acidity to shine.
