González Byass presents Uncle Pepe Fino in Rama 2022, 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, 96 Casks have been chosen for the tenth edition of this Fino en Rama. Custodiadas by the stillness of the Bodega de La Constancia, are cask 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

Le domaine: Mis en valeur depuis 1905 par la famille Vic, le domaine Preignes le Vieux témoigne aujourd’hui des liens qui unissent les hommes à leur terroir. Pour la « petite histoire » c’est l’arrière grand-père de Robert Vic, François Bergon, qui a fait l’acquisition du domaine au début du 20ème siècle. Aujourd’hui la 5ème génération cultive 250 hectares de terres qui s’étendent tout autour du château.
