Fernando de Castilla Sherry Oloroso Classic Dry 18% Vol. 0,75l
£18.39
The Fernando de Castilla Oloroso Classic Dry Sherry with 18% vol. is a powerful, dry-aged sherry from the renowned Fernando de Castilla house in Jerez de la Frontera, the heart of the Andalusian sherry region. This Oloroso has a classic style – intense, nutty, full-bodied and with natural depth. Made from the Palomino Fino grape variety, this sherry matures for many years in old oak barrels in the Solera system, without the influence of flor yeast. The result is a wine with great aromatic complexity and a mature, structured personality.
Fernando de Castilla stands for uncompromising quality and traditional craftsmanship. The Classic Dry Oloroso is a prime example of this philosophy: dry, powerful and yet elegant – a sherry full of character that shines both on its own and with food.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the Oloroso has a deep amber to mahogany colour with golden reflections. The nose is multi-layered with notes of roasted hazelnuts, dried dates, tobacco, leather, cedar wood and a hint of vanilla and spices. The palate is dry, intensely nutty, with a noticeable body, subtle saltiness and a warm, long-lasting finish. The oxidative ageing gives it fullness, depth and an exceptionally elegant structure.
Ideal as an aperitif or with savoury tapas, grilled meat, mature Manchego, paté, game dishes, smoked ham or mushroom risotto. It also unfolds its potential impressively in combination with nutty starters, chestnuts or dishes with truffles. Served at 12-14 °C, Fernando de Castilla Oloroso Classic Dry is a versatile food companion and a meditation wine full of character, depth and history.
