Distillery Information

It was in Spain in 1835 when Manuel Mara Gonzlez ngel founded Gonzlez Byass, dedicating himself to the world of sherry wine. It was his uncle, Jos ngel who educated Manuel about Fino wines, which is why his name was given to the winerys foundational solera, Solera del To Pepe (To Pepe translates to Uncle Joe). In 1844, the first barrels of To Pepe were shipped over to the UK, after Manuel partnered up with his English agent Robert Blake Byass. The partnership between the families continued until 1988, when the Byass family withdrew from the business. It wasnt just sherry that they were innovating. The family also influenced the introduction of the polo game in Spain, the first grass tennis court within the winery, and the installation of the first electric lighting and running water. Today, it is run by the 5th generation of the Gonzlez family, direct descendants of Manuel. It was his son, Manuel Mara Gonzlez Gordon, who wrote one of the most important books on sherry wine, titled Jerez, Xerez, Sherish. Some consider it to be the Sherry Bible. Gonzlez Byass remains one of Spain’s most well-known sherry bodegas.
