Join González Byass for a journey through Spain by the hand of the best Spanish wines. Begin with a cava from the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona, followed by a crisp Verdejo from Rueda, a classic Rioja Reserva, and a Garnacha from 100-year-old vines. Finishing with a smooth sweet sherry from the home of González Byass Jerez de la Frontera.
