Fernando de Castilla
Classic Amontillado
DO Jerez-Xérès-Sherry NV
100% Palomino Fino
17%abv
Vegan Friendly
Often taken as an aperitif in Spain. Works particularly well with soups.
This Amontillado began life as a Fino. It spent 3 years under flor yeasts at 15%, but was then re-fortified to 17% abv and introduced to an Amontillado Solera - without flor and therefore exposed to air. It spends approximately 5 years in this solera.
An extraordinarily fine, complex and sophisticated drink. Beautiful shining amber colour, fascinatingly complex raisined, nutty, tangy nose and a flavour displaying layer upon layer of deliciously plump sensations on the way.
Food match
Serve as an aperitif with salted almonds or olives or try with mature cheddar, walnuts or figs.
