Frequently Asked Questions
- What is González Byass's most famous wine?
- Tío Pepe Fino, first registered as a trademark in Spain in 1888, is the world's best-selling Fino Sherry and the house's flagship wine.
- Is González Byass still a family-owned company?
- Yes. Founded in 1835 by Manuel María González, González Byass remains family-owned today, now led by the fifth and sixth generations, including chairman Mauricio González-Gordon.
- How are González Byass Sherries aged?
- They use the traditional solera system: wine is fractionally blended across tiers of 600-liter American oak casks (criaderas), so each bottling carries a trace of decades-old wine.
- Does Sherry from González Byass pair well with Japanese cuisine?
- Yes. Dry Fino and Manzanilla styles like Tío Pepe have high acidity and a saline, umami-rich character from aging under flor yeast, making them excellent matches for sushi, sashimi, and tempura.
- Where are González Byass's vineyards located?
- The vineyards lie in the Jerez Superior zone of Andalusia, Spain, prized for its white albariza soil, which retains moisture through the region's hot, dry summers.
