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. Solera 1847 is named in honour of the first birthday of the founders son.
Vinification Details
The Palomino wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and fortified to 18% alcohol, the Pedro Ximenez is fortified to 15.5%. The wines then enter their own separate solera systems to begin ageing. After four years the wines are blended and aged through the Solera 1847 solera for a further 8 years.
