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. “
Melissa Draycott

Harvest update from @domaenewachau !
The 2024 harvest brought some real challenges, with heavy rains and flooding affecting parts of Lower Austria. Luckily, Wachau’s vineyards, especially those on steep terraces like Axpoint and Kirnberg, were largely spared thanks to good drainage and early weather predictions.
Despite daily re-evaluations due to storms and road closures, the vignerons adapted, and the quality of the grapes—particularly Grüner Veltliner—remains excellent. Riesling will require some extra hand-selection, but both varieties show great promise!
Cool nights and sunny days have slowed ripening, allowing the fruit to develop deeper aromas and balance. While spring frost reduced yields in some areas, the 2024 vintage looks incredibly promising. The good news is that harvest will continue for a few more weeks, hopefully under ideal conditions!
