This listing is for the 2026 Spring Release, a Palomino Fino Sherry for exploring alongside olives, seafood and a selection of tapas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eExpert Review · Release Not Specified\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling · 90 Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the prototypical fino sherry with all the salty and yeasty character you expect. Also dried-apple, pear and lemon-zest character. Generous, but very dry and salty on the palate with a refreshing touch of austerity. Where are the olives? Drink now, if possible from a freshly opened bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWinemaker Description · Release Not Specified\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale yellow with golden glints. Slightly cloudy as it contains flor in suspension, reflecting it’s having been bottled ‘En Rama’. Complex aromas of almonds, lemon and floral notes combined with sea spray and minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is concentrated and sightly creamy with a salty tang and impressive depth of flavour boasting toasted almonds, apple skins and bready undertones. The finish is rounded and alluring, clearly harking back to its origins in the albariza soil yet also reflecting the Significance of its biological ageing. This wine is the purest definition of the vines and the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrom Our Buyer · Historical Note Written in 2025, Featuring Saca 2023\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOscar, 67 Wine Buyer:\u003c\/strong\u003e In 2015, I was one of only three invitees from the United States selected to participate in the prestigious Gonzalez Byass Tio Pepe Sherry Master program. This incredible experience allowed me to earn certification as a Sherry Master through their renowned education program. To this day, it remains one of the highlights of my professional wine career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was captivated by the vineyards, the historic Sherry bodegas, and the wealth of knowledge I gained under the guidance of the legendary Antonio Flores, Master Blender at Bodegas Gonzalez Byass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast forward to 2025, and I am thrilled to invite all wine aficionados to explore our newly revamped Sherry selection at the shop. We have curated an extensive collection of over 100 selections ranging from delightfully crisp, saline-driven Finos and Manzanillas to complex and rare Amontillados, Olorosos, and Palo Cortados. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming Sherry tastings and other exciting events celebrating the magic of El Marco de Jerez.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, I'm especially delighted to feature one of my favorite Finos, typically available only in the spring: Tio Pepe Fino en Rama Saca 2023. Bottled in the spring of 2023, this en rama Fino undergoes minimal filtration and remains unfined, preserving its raw, expressive character. Hand-selected by Antonio Flores, this release showcases a vintage label from the Gonzalez Byass archives, making it a collector's item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine itself is bursting with aromas and flavors of green olives, citrus, saline notes, and delicate yeasty nuances. Bone dry and intensely flavorful, it pairs beautifully with cured meats, cheeses, and grilled skewers of shrimp and calamari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFood Pairings \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe chilled with olives, cured meats or cheeses.
