In 1835, young Manuel María González Angel reached Jerez prepared to forge his way in the prosperous and thriving sherry business. Encouraged by the continuous development of exports, that year he acquired a small cellar and begun to prepare and export his own wine. Shortly after, due to the growing success of his company, Manuel Maria Gonzalez decided to form a partnership with Mr Robert Blake Byass, his agent in England, which gave rise to the Gonzalez Byass company.
The Byass family retired from the business in 1988 and since then the company has been owned by the direct descendants of Manuel Maria González who hold almost 100% of the company shares with a small percentage is in the hands of distributors in Switzerland and Japan.
Members of the 4th and 5th generation of the González family currently sit on the Board of Directors.
