Tio Pepe Fino en Rama is the maximum expression of biological ageing; Tio Pepe without filtration or clarification, taken directly from the barrel in Spring when the flor growth is at its thickest. Due to the uniqueness of this product it is produced in very small quantities and it is best drunk within 3 months of bottling. En Rama is the local jargon used by winery workers to refer to wine in its unrefined and most delicate state, prior to the normal stabilization, clarification and filtering processes. En Rama expresses the unique character of Jerez: the penetrating aromas of the cellars and the intensity of the flor, the yeast which interacts with the wine giving its unique and delicate character.
The unique ageing system of Solera and Criaderas contributes to its remarkably consistent quality. It is aged under a protective covering of fresh, naturally occuring yeast, ‘flor’ for a minimum of 5 years in the quietness of the cellar.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Fragrant on the nose with instantly recognisable notes of bread and fresh yeast.
Palate: The character of the Macharnudo area is reflected in the saltiness of the wine, which is also elegantly bitter on the finish.
