WINE MAKING PROCESS
Tío Pepe Fino is made from 100% Palomino Fino grapes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged using the traditional Solera system for a minimum of 4-5 years in American oak barrels. During this aging process, the wine is protected by a layer of 'flor', a natural yeast that prevents oxidation and contributes to its characteristic dry profile. 'En Rama' versions are bottled with minimal intervention, unfiltered and unfined, directly from the cask.
