Fernando de Castilla Sherry Amontillado 17% Vol. 0,75l
£18.39
The Fernando de Castilla Amontillado Sherry with 17 % vol. is a classically matured, dry-aged sherry from the renowned Fernando de Castilla bodega in Jerez de la Frontera. This amontillado impressively combines two maturation styles: organic maturation under flor yeast, as is typical for fino, and subsequent oxidative maturation, which ensures depth, complexity and nutty flavours. The result is a multi-layered, wonderfully structured sherry with elegance and personality.
Made from 100% Palomino Fino, this Amontillado matures traditionally in the Solera system over many years in old oak barrels. The wine impressively reflects the balance between freshness, maturity and depth – an authentic representative of the Andalusian sherry tradition, dry, fine and harmonious.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the sherry has a shiny amber colour with golden reflections. The nose reveals elegant aromas of roasted almonds, hazelnuts, dried herbs and fine wood, accompanied by a hint of caramel and sea salt. Dry, nutty and expressive on the palate, with fine acidity, good structure and a long, slightly spicy finish that elegantly emphasises the oxidative maturity tones.
Ideal at 12-14 °C as an aperitif or with tapas, smoked fish, seafood, mature cheese, grilled vegetables, chicken liver or pork fillet with sherry sauce. This sherry is also an excellent accompaniment to mushroom dishes, nuts or light-coloured meat dishes with herbs. Fernando de Castilla Amontillado is a versatile food companion with character – dry, deep and with a Spanish soul.
