González Byass Tío Pepe Vina AB Amontillado Seco Sherry

González Byass is a family business, founded in 1835, dedicated to making premium sherries and brandies in Jerez, Spain. Well-known brands such as Tio Pepe Fino Sherry, or the gems such as Matusalem or Apostoles have made González Byass one of Spain's most famous wine brands worldwide. Tradition, research and quality are the pillars of this winery, which has almost two centuries of experience. In total there are more than 10,000 hectares of vineyards in the Jerez region. The predominant Palomino grape, is named after a 13th-century Spanish knight. Should the Palomino grape grow elsewhere, it is susceptible to oxidation (darkening and spoiling), but the magical combination of the soil and the prevailing humidity promotes the growth of the protective flor yeast.

Amontillado is a very unique wine due to its double aging process: firstly, this wine matures under flor of the Fino or Manzanilla type, followed by a period in which the flor gradually disappears and the wine is exposed to oxidation. Made from palomino grapes, this fusion of maturation processes makes the Amontillado an extraordinarily complex and intriguing wine. The Tio Pepe Vina AB Amontillado Seco is an elegant wine that varies from pale topaz to amber in color. Its subtle, delicate bouquet has aromas of hazelnut and dark tobacco. Light and supple on the palate with a balanced acidity, both complex and seductive, leading to a dry and lingering long finish with hints of nuts and wood.
