Gonzalez Byass to host global portfolio tasting in London

Distributor Gonzalez Byass will host its annual UK portfolio tasting, with a series of talks and masterclasses headed up by some of the group’s newest recruits.

The trade tasting, which will take place on Monday 11 February, will host a Speaker’s Corner for the first time this year, with industry insiders such as Mark & Sarah Driver from English winery Rathfinny and Katie Jones from Languedoc estate Domaine Jones sharing their personal experiences of running a family wine business.

Katie Jones, winemaker and owner of the Domaine Jones on the Languedoc-Roussillon border, appointed Gonzalez Byass UK as its distributor in May last year, with the aim of focussing on the independent and on trade sectors.

The trade show will allow buyers to sample a range of brands from the company’s Spanish wine and sherry offerings, as well as labels from its wider global portfolio.

In addition, the event, which will take place in London’s Oxo Tower, will also host a series of masterclasses. Winery director Roman Horvath MW will lead a tutored tasting of wines from Domäne Wachau, which formed a UK distribution partnership with Gonzalez Byass in July last year.
