Gonzalez Byass Elegante Fino Dry Sherry is a beautifully refined expression of Fino sherry, showcasing the cool, bone-dry style that has made this category a staple of Spanish wine culture and a versatile choice for wine lovers worldwide. Produced by Gonzalez Byass, a historic and highly respected sherry house based in Jerez, Spain, Elegante represents the crisp, light, and savoury character of fino fortified wine at its best - fresh, poised, and wonderfully food-friendly.
Rooted in centuries-old traditions of solera ageing under flor (a natural yeast layer that protects and lifts the wine), this dry sherry offers remarkable purity of flavour and texture, making it equally at home in classic tapas bars, contemporary restaurants, and vibrant social settings. Its connection to on-trade hospitality means it is a frequent favourite behind bar counters and on wine lists that value both tradition and drinkability.
