Vinification Details
- González Byass has the largest single vineyard area of PX in Jerez, a 27 hectare single vineyard estate called Esteve in the Carrascal Pago. The Pedro Ximenez grapes are collected from the vine slightly later and in a process called ‘soleo' bunches are laid out on mats in the sun for up to two weeks. During this time the grapes raisin and give us an intense, sweet juice. This is then aged in the solera system for an average of 8 years on the 180 year old family estate in the heart of Jerez.
History
- Gonzalez Byass was founded in Jerez by Manual 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 its fifth generation.
Regional Information
- Gonzalez Byass is situated in the city of Jerez, Andalusia, in the heart of D.O. Jerez, owning over 800 hectares of vineyard, all located in Jerez superior. This area enjoys a warm and humid climate which helps in the maturation of the grape. The soils of the area are high in chalk, known as 'albariza soil' this helps to maintain moisture during the long dry summers. With vineyards split 95% Palomino and 5% Pedro Ximenez. Gonzalez Byass is the only winery to have PX planted in Jerez.
