Persoonlijke gegevens
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.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De González Byass Tío Pepe Vina AB Amontillado Seco is een elegante sherry die zich onderscheidt door haar complexe smaakprofiel met aroma’s van hazelnoot, donkere tabak en een subtiele hint van hout. De wijn combineert een delicate zuurgraad met een zachte, droge afdronk vol noten en een lichte oxidatieve toets, waardoor hij zowel verfijnd als verleidend is. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij charcuterie en feestelijke borrelhapjes, vooral wanneer je kiest voor gerechten met een rijke, hartige smaak en een lichte rooksmaak. Het serveren van de Amontillado op kamertemperatuur en het combineren met bijvoorbeeld gerookte kazen, noten of gekonfijte groenten benadrukt de verfijnde aroma’s en maakt je genietmoment compleet. Bij het bereiden van gerechten met geroosterde of gekarameliseerde elementen komt de complexe smaak van deze sherry extra tot zijn recht. |

A great commercial success, the NV Tío Pepe Fino en Rama 2014 is the yearly release of a selection of 60 barrels form the Tío Pepe soleras, averaging four years under 'flor'. This is a wine that is going from strength to strength, bottled in June 2014.This is a great commercial Fino with the character and power of 'en rama' wines with the textbook esparto grass and green olive brine aromas combined with a quite subtle and an easygoing palate that is very tasty, dry and concludes with a chalky sensation. It is relatively easy to drink and is ideal with food. Each year the wine has a different label, so they are perfectly recognizable. One of these years I should do a vertical... Fortunately they've seen the potential of this wine and they filled 16,000 bottles as the initial releases were quite scarce and the wine was not so easy to find. It will be interesting to follow the evolution in bottle and to compare it with other year's releases. Something in my to-do list...
González-Byass is doing yearly releases of Tío Pepe en Rama, with a different label every year the 2014 one is a rectangular emerald blue, and Palmas collections, but the Palmas are only identifiable by the bottling date on the back label. They did a saca at the end of 2012 and this second one in October of 2014. Additionally they keep selling small quantities of old single-harvest wines, the current one is a fine Palo Cortado from 1982.
