Tío Pepe Dos Palmas

Fino Sherry

Careful selection of just 2 casks of 8 year old Fino

The classification of the Fino Palmas collection 2019 has clearly been influenced by the climatological year. We had a mild and dry winter and a fresh summer and these circumstances have led to the Flor showing a significant yeast activity during winter and spring which it managed to maintain during the entire summer. The selected casks for Una and Dos Palmas are clear examples of how far the biological ageing can be taken, in these two Finos that are true examples of the two terroirs in Jerez; the vineyard and the winery.
