The Character

Tasting Notes Deep mahogany in color, this oloroso opens with aromas of toasted walnut, dried fig, leather, and caramelized spice. The palate is rich and dry, with layers of roasted nuts, date, cocoa, and savory umami framed by a broad, warming texture. It finishes long and elegant, with lingering notes of old wood, walnut, and sweet 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.
