The Character

Tasting Notes Amber-gold in color, this palo cortado opens with lifted aromas of toasted hazelnut, dried orange peel, chamomile, and subtle caramelized spice. The palate is dry, polished, and layered, balancing nutty oxidative character with bright acidity, savory depth, and a supple, almost creamy texture. It finishes long and elegant, with lingering notes of walnut, saline minerality, and gentle wood spice.

About Fernando de Castilla

Producer Story

Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla was founded in 1837, purchased and revitalized in 1999 by Jan Pettersen (a Norweigian with 15 years at Osborne). Jan also took over the cellars of Jose Bustamante next door and quickly established Fernando de Castilla as one of the region’s finest small, independent sherry houses. The company specializes in natural, unblended and unfined products as supreme examples of the ancient winemaking traditions of the Jerez region. The vineyards (farmed without pesticides or herbicides) and winery are all located in Jerez, all sherries are estate bottled.
