£150 for a bottle of sherry?

The Gonzalez Byass collection of Vintage Sherries are amongst the rarest wines in he world. They are also some of the most extraordinary.

For many years now the Gonzalez family have kept back a tiny number of barrels - never more than a thousandth part of the annual harvest - and aged them individually as vintage wines.

These select vintages are exquisite Oloroso sherries, very elegant very dry and very clean and of exceptional fragrance and long finish. Their strength is usually around 22%, but varies depending on the wine's age because Olorosos grow in alcoholic strength as the years go by.

The wines are not clarified or filtered and are bottled by hand direct from the cask. Every label is hand written and each bottle individually numbered and signed. There's rarely more than a few hundred bottles available from any one year.

If your pockets are deep enough, and you're ready for a taste you'll never otherwise experience, here's where, if you're lucky, you might find a bottle of this liquid gold.
