The only Brandy de Jerez produced 100% in Jerez, Lepanto is presented in a decanter-style bottle designed especially for the brand, decorated by hand based on designs from the Real Fabrica de la Granja. Dry, delicate, complex and persistant. Extremely elegant. Very fragant, notes of old oak. Made from 100% Palomino grape distillates at 60 degrees, denominated holanda.
Lepanto is the luxury offshoot of González Byass which has the distinction of being the only Brandy de Jerez which is produced entirely from start to finish in Jerez. It's produced from Palomino grapes grown in the region, which undergo a double-distillation process in the Los Arcos cellar between two Charentais pot stills from Cognac that date back to the 1960s. The distillate, or 'holanda', is aged for a minimum of 15 years in a solera system in American oak barrels once used for Sherry. They spend 12 years in barrels that had been used for Tio Pepe sherry and 3 years in barrels that had aged Noe, a Pedro Ximénez sherry that ages for 30 years.
