Tio Pepe<\/strong> is a great sherry producer. They have a wonderful range, and are producing some exceptional wines from their base in Jerez, Spain. Yet unlike Harvey\u2019s or Crofts, they\u2019re more well known for their savoury wines. That\u2019s great if you prefer salted almonds to trifle, as savoury sherry can make salty, savoury, umami flavours more intense.<\/p>\n

A Different Grape With A Very Different Character<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Savoury sherry<\/a> is dominated by the Palomino grape. It has a completely different character to the Pedro Ximenez<\/a> grape that produces sweet sherry, and its so thin skinned that it has to be harvested by hand, while being collected in small boxes. It grows on blinding white soil with a high limestone content. This creates the finest grapes in the Jerez region, and it allows the Palomino to come into its element as a sherry, which is the only wine style that the grape suits.<\/p>\n
