History
González Obregón has operated as an almacenista bodega in Jerez since 1895, supplying aged Amontillado to larger négociant houses including Lustau under the Almacenista programme. The programme, which bottles single-almacenista wines under their own names, brought international recognition to small bodegas like González Obregón.
