History
Gonzalez Byass was founded in Jerez by Manuel Maria Gonzalez in 1835. The first Barrels of Tio Pepe were exported to London in 1844, and in 1855 the UK distributor, Robert Blake Byass was made a partner in order to strengthen links to the UK. Ever since, Gonzalez Byass has been dedicated to the production of quality sherry wines, and is still controlled by the Gonzalez family, now in it's fifth generation.
Regional Information
Gonzalez Byass is situated in the city of Jerez, in the heart of the D.O.Jerez. Gonzalez Byass owns over 800 hectares of vineyards, all situated in Jerez Superior 20-70m above sea level. 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, the best soil in the area for the growth of vines as it has a large capacity for maintaining moisture, very important given the long, hot and dry summers experienced in Jerez.

Vinification Details
As soon as the Palomino grapes reach the winery they are gently pressed without crushing the stems, seeds or skins. This must from the first light pressing is called 'yema'. After fermentation classification and fortification the wine enters the Elegante fino solera where it will age for 3 years in American oak barrels following the traditional Solera system. During this period the wine ages under a layer of yeast known as the 'flor'. This 'flor' gives Elegante its distinct colour, aroma and character.

Shockingly bad.

Fino can be an acquired taste it is very dry so I can understand why it might not be to everybodys liking. I personally like it but this is vile it almost tastes corked and it very likely is its that bad. I feel like requesting a refund which I normally would but Im not convinced it is corked I think its just a poor example/vintage, elegante it most certainly is not.

Awful

Tried just one small glass, disgusting taste, definitely one to avoid.

ok

Got this as a substitute. Costs slightly more than what I had chosen. It is okay for cooking.

Good value

i don't pretend to be an expert on sherry, but friends liked this a lot when served. with tapas style starters. For the price it seems a good deal.
