The Fernando de Castilla Antique Amontillado is greenish with an amber tint, typical of aged amontillados of a rich golden colour. This fine amontillado sherry a real tang to both nose and palate with orange peel, eucalyptus, varnished wood, and fennel, with a long, dry finish.

Ideal with consomme, hard cheeses or tapas dishes such as oxtail or chorizo sausage. Also good with certain oriental dishes.

One of the most exceptional small, independent amontillado sherry houses, Fernando de Castilla was revitalised in 1999 by Jan Pettersen, a Norwegian with a passion for top quality sherry with 15 years experience at Osborne. After taking over the cellars of the Sherry shipper Jose Bustamante, located next door to Fernando de Castilla, Jan quickly established Fernando de Castilla as masters of the production and ageing of fine, unblended, untreated Sherries. The bodega's reputation is primarily based on the excellence of the Antique range of intensely pure and complex single solera Sherries. The Oloroso was named Best Sherry in the 2007 New Wave Spanish Wine Awards and the sherry amontillado was also included within the 'Top 109'
