Regional information
Gonzalez Byass is situated in the city of Jerez, Andalusia, in the heart of the D.O. Jerez. This area enjoys a warm and humid climate which helps in the maturation of the grapes. The Gonzalez Byass vineyards are found on the albariza soil which is the best soil in the area for the growth of vines as it has a very high chalk content and therefore a large capacity for maintaining moisture, very important given the long, hot and dry summers experienced in Jerez.
Tasting notes
Uncompromisingly dry, elegant and distinctive. It is soft and has a pleasant mouthfeel while being very dry, salty and yeasty.
On the nose sharp yet elegant aromas of the yeast from the flor balanced with almond notes typical of the Palomino variety.
On the palate completely dry with reminders of almonds, green olives, green apple and slightly bitter. Surprisingly fresh after 4 years spent in oak with a long and complex finish.

Vinification details
As soon as Palomino grapes reach the winery they are pressed using neumatic presses without crushing the stems, seeds or skins. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, classification and fortification to 15.5% the wine enters the Tio Pepe solera where it will age for more than 4 years in American oak barrels following the traditional Solera system. During this period the wine undergoes biological ageing under a layer of yeast known as the 'flor'.
