Gonzalez Byass – The Best of Spain

Gonzalez Byass – The Best of Spain

Left Conatiner

In February, we were very fortunate to have Xavier Vicente, Export Manager for Gonzalez Byass visit us in Auckland.

Gonzalez Byass is a family winery, founded in 1835, dedicated to making fine Sherries and Brandies in Jerez, Spain. Well-known brands such as Tio Pepe Fino Sherry or Lepanto Brandy de Jerez, or various jewels like Matusalem or Apostoles have made Gonzalez Byass one of Spain’s most recognised wine brands world-wide. Tradition, research and quality are the pillars of this winery which boasts nearly two centuries of experience.

Following the same tradition, Gonzalez Byass has, over the past 30 years, converted itself into a family of wineries, producing wine in some of Spain’s most famous wine producing regions.

As well as a range of Gonzalez Byass Sherries, Negociants NZ distributes a small selection of wines from Gonzalez Byass; Bodegas Beronia from Ollauri, La Rioja – Vilarnau Cava from Sant Sadurni d’Anoia, Barcelona - Finca Constancia from Otero, Toledo - Vinas del Vero from Somontano, Huesca.

In each of these regions, the Gonzalez Byass family strives to make the best possible quality wines respecting the local terroirs and traditions.
