The Character

Tasting Notes Deep amber in color, this amontillado opens with aromas of toasted almond, hazelnut, dried citrus peel, and a hint of sea spray. The palate is dry, nuanced, and lightly creamy, showing layers of walnut, chamomile, and savory spice balanced by bright acidity. It finishes long and focused, with lingering notes of oxidative nuttiness, saline minerality, and subtle wood character.

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.
