González Byass presents Uncle Pepe Fino in Rama 2019, a jewel of very limited elaboration that arrives, like every year, in the spring. In this season life, light and joy take the foundational nucleus of the Bodega de La Constancia. It is the moment in which Antonio Flores, oenologist of the house of Tío Pepe, selects those boots that stand out for their unique organoleptic characteristics. The moment in which the new one draws from this Fino in Rama, which has not been subjected to the usual processes of clarification and filtration, sees the light.

After a dialogue between the winemaker and the winery, full of work, origin, wisdom and passion, 67 boots have been chosen for the tenth edition of this Fino en Rama. Custodiadas by the stillness of the Bodega de La Constancia, are boots that reflect the Terroirde Macharnudo and Carrascal, in an intense and elegant way, and that have retained a forceful and thick veil of flower giving it all the character and style of Tío Pepe, cultural icon alive and legacy of a Wine Family founded in 1835.

Tasting notes:

Nose : Fresh as ever, with an emphasis on cellar notes (chalk, sandy floors) as well as bread dough, hay and a light heady top note

Palate : A tad less wild on the palate, more citrus freshness, coastal brine en lightly bitter herbs. A very harmonious edition this year.

Finish : The character of the Macharnudo area is reflected in the saltiness of the wine, which is also elegantly bitter on the finish

A perfect blend of three wines: a dry and crisp Fino sherry, a floral and sweet Moscatel and a lively and fruity Tintilla de Rota wine, aged under the watchful and expert eye of Sergio Martínez, Lustau Cellar Master.

Fernando Pérez, Lustau Master Blender, is responsible for the selection of the base wines and the creative combination of botanicals and fruits that contribute to build the unique personality of this vermouth.

Wormwood, cardamom, chamomile, vanilla and nutmeg stand out in the selection. Each botanical macerates separately for optimal aroma extraction. The master blender then expertly co

The resulting vermouth has an attractive and delicate pink orange colour. Full of floral and herbaceous notes that mingle with fruity and spiced scents on the nose. Seductive wild strawberry, orange blossom and patisserie aromas with a subtle nutty background. On the palate, the spiced and herbaceous notes are followed by a comforting sweetness that leaves a delicious silky sensation.

Lustau Vermut Rosé can be consumed on the rocks or with your favourite tonic water. Try adding a slice of pink grapefruit to enhance the fruit. Perfect for aperitif or as an afternoon drink.
