Gonzalez Byass wine cellars is celebrating its 175th anniversary by embarking a wineskine barrel of Tio Pepe in the Galleon of Andalusia, which will travel from Sevilla to the Shanghai World Expo.
Recovering the original exporters and crossings to London back in 1835, Gonzalez Byass wine cellars celebrates its 175th anniversary by embarking a wineskin barrel of Tio Pepe in the Galleon of Andalusia. This ship, which aims to travel to the Shanghai World Expo, will bring to its visitors a part of the Andalusian culture and the most international dry sherry, Tio Pepe.
The famous “dizzying” of wines has been a common practice up until the nineteenth century. These ‘dizzied’ wines have improved markedly with the sea travel and their value is increased so much that they were considered real treasures. Among them was Tio Pepe, which the Gonzalez Byass wine cellars archives attest that their 1838 inventories there were 20 wineskin barrels listed in the Fragata Victoria ship that traveled to Manila and 8 wineskin barrels in the Colón ship also traveling to Manila.
And to illustrate the importance of these wines, a passage of the work of Miguel de Cervantes, “The work of Persiles and Sigismunda “, where he states at the dinner to Prince Arnaldo “ they filled the glasses with generous wines, of which, when these wines traveled the sea from one end to another, they improved in taste to have a nectar like quality”.
Tio Pepe joins this initiative framed within the project “Guadalquivir River of History” and he tries to spread the broad
knowledge of cultural, artistic, economic and scientific heritage that has passed through this river in Andalucia. This has been cast as a ‘galleon’, a type of ship that starred in the commercial trade that maintained Spain with America and the Pacific islands for three centuries.
This vessel, carrying with it various goods, will also house a wineskin barrel of Tio Pepe. Resulting from a process of research, design and unique construction, this seventeenth century replica will travel to the Shanghai World Expo. González Byass wine cellars joins this demonstration of Spanish culture on a journey that will visit a host of cities and will connect Tio Pepe fine wine across the globe.
