Description
Spain, Cadiz González Byass is a family business, founded in 1835, dedicated to making premium sherries and brandies in Jerez, Spain. Well-known brands such as Tio Pepe Fino Sherry, or the gems such as Matusalem and Apostoles have made González Byass one of Spain's most famous wine brands worldwide.
The Pedro Ximénez Dulce from González Byass is obtained from overripe grapes of the same name, which are sun-dried so that they retain their exceptionally high concentration of residual sugars. The aging in the criadera system, also in 100% oak barrels and the rich Pedro Ximénez grape, make Nectar a powerful and full-bodied sweet sherry with the taste of raisins and sun-dried figs. This is a wine that tastes delicious with sweet desserts, vanilla ice cream and dark chocolate.

A great commercial success, the NV Tío Pepe Fino en Rama 2014 is the yearly release of a selection of 60 barrels form the Tío Pepe soleras, averaging four years under 'flor'. This is a wine that is going from strength to strength, bottled in June 2014.This is a great commercial Fino with the character and power of 'en rama' wines with the textbook esparto grass and green olive brine aromas combined with a quite subtle and an easygoing palate that is very tasty, dry and concludes with a chalky sensation. It is relatively easy to drink and is ideal with food. Each year the wine has a different label, so they are perfectly recognizable. One of these years I should do a vertical... Fortunately they've seen the potential of this wine and they filled 16,000 bottles as the initial releases were quite scarce and the wine was not so easy to find. It will be interesting to follow the evolution in bottle and to compare it with other year's releases. Something in my to-do list...
González-Byass is doing yearly releases of Tío Pepe en Rama, with a different label every year the 2014 one is a rectangular emerald blue, and Palmas collections, but the Palmas are only identifiable by the bottling date on the back label. They did a saca at the end of 2012 and this second one in October of 2014. Additionally they keep selling small quantities of old single-harvest wines, the current one is a fine Palo Cortado from 1982.

Spain, Cadiz González Byass is a family business founded in 1835 dedicated to making premium sherries and brandies in Jerez, Spain. Well-known brands such as Tio Pepe Fino Sherry, or the gems such as Matusalem and Apostoles have made González Byass one of Spain's most famous wine brands worldwide. Tradition, research and quality are the pillars of this winery, which has almost two centuries of experience. According to her tradition, González Byass has developed over the past 30 years into a 'family of vineyards' in wine production in some of Spain's most famous wine producing regions, such as; Bodegas Beronia (Rioja and Rueda), Cavas Vilarnau (Barcelona), Finca Constancia (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla), Finca Moncloa (Vino de la Tierra de Cádiz) and Viñas del Vero (Somontano). In each of these regions, the family strives to produce the best quality wines possible, respecting local traditions and terroir. Likewise, the company has also expanded into the premium spirits category with brands such as The London No. 1 Gin, MOM, Druide Vodka and Nomad Outland Whiskey.
The most famous product of Gonzaal's Byass is Tío Pepe: a very good basic fino and then of course the top and that is the Tío Pepe and Rama. Unlit and has had time to mature gently and carefully.
