Τhe Land of Sherry with Tio Pepe Sherry Master
Jerez. Not the easiest destination to get to from Athens, but totally worth the trouble. The 2017 Sherrymaster, hosted by Gonzalez Byass, was an extraordinary combination of theory and tastings; a fine exploration of the Jerez terroir. 4 Masters of Wine from 4 different countries together with about 10 more wine professionals from Spain, Germany and the USA participated in this Sherrymaster Course during last September.
The Vice President of Gonzalez Byass together with the company's oenologist and master blender, the passionate Mr. Antonio Flores, welcomed us warmly and introduced us to the world of Sherry. The company was established in 1846 and is regarded as one of the most prestigious in the Sherry market. The first day included visits to the vineyards and to the archives of the company, which date back to 1835. The amazing capacity of a single variety – the Palomino grape - to produce so many different styles of wine was the focus of the day.
