Description
González Byass is a family business, founded in 1835, dedicated to making premium sherries and brandies in Jerez, Spain. Famous brands like Tio Pepe Fino Sherry, or the gems like Matusalem or 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.
In total there are more than 10,000 hectares of vineyards in the Jerez region. The predominant Palomino grape, it is named after a 13th-century Spanish knight. If the Palomino grape were to grow elsewhere, it would be susceptible to oxidation (darkening and spoiling), but the magical combination of the soil and the prevailing humidity promotes the growth of the protective flor yeast.
The Fino Tio Pepe Sherry has exceptional dryness and earthy aromas. Like Port, Sherry is a "fortified" wine, meaning extra alcohol is added to bring the alcohol content to about 16 percent by volume. The 100% Palomino Fino has been aged entirely in oak barrels. The Fino is a fresh sherry with lots of aroma and character. Enjoy a nice chilled drink at a temperature of 6 - 8°C. An excellent aperitif, accompanied by nuts, olives, ham (and then of course the real Bellota Iberico ham .

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.
