About us
The González Byass wine story began in Jerez in 1835, when young entrepreneur Manuel María González started out as a wine trader. Rapid success led him into wine production, helped by his uncle José Ángel, known affectionately as Tio Pepe, after whom he named his first solera. Almost 200 years later it is still very much a family concern and is now in the hands of the fifth generation of winemakers. Today the family owns 14 wineries, producing premium wines and spirits in Spain, Chile, and Mexico, where they are fully committed to preserving the natural environment for the generations to come.
González Byass UK is a subsidiary of the historic González Byass business, distributing a considerable portfolio of wines and spirits from Spain, as well as wines from a carefully selected handful of complementary brands from around the globe.
“At González Byass UK we all share a passion – for great wine, great service, great experiences, but most of all for great relationships. We love what we do, and there’s nothing better than sharing a great glass of wine and good times with customers, suppliers and colleagues. “

Harvest Update from @disznokotokaj ! 🍇
Disznókő in Tokaj is experiencing a historic harvest this year. Unlike the cooler growing seasons of 2020, 2021, and 2022, 2024 has turned out to be one of the hottest years on record.
The winter was much warmer than usual, with an average of 10°C in January instead of the typical 0°C, leading to an early bud-break.
While late spring and June were cool, the hot and dry weather in July and August accelerated ripening, resulting in the earliest dry harvest in Disznókő’s history! Harvest for dry wines will finish up this week, we can’t wait to taste the results...

It’s hard to think of a more iconic grape than #cabernetsauvignon - especially when it’s in the hands of the @neilelliswines team!
3 Cab facts for #internationalcabernetday :
- Cabernet Sauvignon is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, first identified in 17th-century Bordeaux, France. It has become one of the most popular and widely planted red grape varieties worldwide!
- The grape is known for its small berries and thick skin, which contribute to the wine’s deep colour and robust tannins, giving it its signature bold and structured profile.
- Cabernet Sauvignon played a crucial role in elevating the global reputation of South African wine. As the industry modernized in the 1990s, Cabernet became a key player, showcasing South Africa’s potential and boosting its standing in the international wine market.

An unforgettable day welcoming a legend to Bodegas Tio Pepe!
We had the pleasure of hosting @james.suckling and his team for an exclusive visit last week! Antonio Flores guided the team through the historic archives before leading a tasting of some truly special Sherries, including the rare 1958 Añada (James’s birth year!) and some even more incredible treasures from the historical bottles rack.
A day to remember, filled with incredible wines and even better company!
