Alfonso de González Byass is a delicious, dry oloroso wine. Full-bodied, balanced and with an intense aroma, it is tasty, harmonious and long in the mouth. Made using the traditional 'criadera y solera' system, it achieved a score of 90/100 in the Guía Peñín.
This will taste great over some battered anchovies, creme caramel, marinated dished and cakes.
