  Pale straw color with inviting green apple, toasted almond, olive aromas with notes of lemon peel and yeast. On the palate it's medium-bodied and dry with tangy, mouth-watering acidity and juicy green apple and lemony flavors with a saline minerality and a satisfying finish with an appetizing bitter almond note. 100% Palomino grapes aged in the Tio Pepe solera for an average of four years under flor. SRP - $16.99|ABV - 15%
  
  Tio Pepe is one of the few commercial sherries that mention their Carrascal and Macharnudo vineyards on the label, two of the best areas for Palomino grape cultivation, to the North-West of Jerez de la Frontera explains Ruben of Sherry Notes. González Byass was the first Sherry winery to export the fino style back in 1844 when they sent casks of this local style to the UK. This wine has now become a national icon and is the number one selling fino in the world, today sold in over 100 markets.
