History

The Solera 1847 takes its name from the year the founding solera was created, coinciding with a period of great expansion in the González Byass export business. The wine is an Oloroso sweetened with old Pedro Ximénez, resulting in the rich, sweet-yet-not-cloying profile characteristic of classic medium-sweet Jerez.
