Lepanto revives the tradition of authentic Brandy de Jerez
to honour the greatness of an exceptional battle.v

In the heart of Jerez, birthplace of wine and distillation, stands the González Byass distillery, guardian of a tradition that has made Lepanto the only brandy crafted entirely in this land. Its history began in 1909, when the house registered the brand as a tribute to the Battle of Lepanto — a symbol of nobility and determination that still inspires every bottle today.

Lepanto is an exclusive Brandy de Jerez Gran Reserva, born from Palomino Fino grapes and crafted through a double distillation process in Charentais copper pot stills, following a unique artisanal method found nowhere else in the world. It is aged in American oak casks that previously held Sherry wines, using the traditional criaderas and solera ageing system. The result is a spirit of remarkable finesse and complexity, expressing the soul of this land and the dedication of those who have devoted their lives to preserving it.

The current range reflects the richness of this legacy: from the classic expression of Lepanto Solera Gran Reserva to editions aged in Oloroso Viejo and Pedro Ximénez casks, including Aurum, its most exclusive jewel. Each expression embodies the essence of a process that combines patience, excellence and profound respect for origin.

Today, Lepanto is recognised as the quintessential Brandy de Jerez. Its bottles, inspired by historic designs from the Royal Glass Factory of La Granja, stand as witnesses to an art passed down through generations. More than a spirit, Lepanto is memory, identity and the pride of a land that has transformed time into elegance.

Lepanto, the greatness of Jerez in every glass.

Made from Palomino Fino grapes and double-distilled in Charentais stills, this Brandy de Jerez is aged for 12 years in American oak casks: 9 in those that once held Tío Pepe Fino and 3 in Oloroso Matusalem. The result is an elegant and complex brandy, with notes of dried fruits, vanilla, and caramel, perfectly balanced between intensity and smoothness.
