Fernando de Castilla deals only in prestigious, premium wines. The sherries are all from individual unblended soleras. The average age of the Fino solera is 4-4.5 years old. Pale in colour with just a hint of straw yellow at the rim. Powerful and acute on the nose with intense flavours of roasted nuts and dried fruit, giving way to a clean, full palate with savoury notes, mature fruit and nuts. Served chilled and try with salted almonds, light fish dishes or seafood tapas.

One of the most exceptional of the small, independent sherry houses, Fernando de Castilla was revitalised in 1999 by Jan Pettersen, a Norwegian gone native 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 the main facilities of 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 based on the excellence of the Antique range of intensely pure and complex single solera Sherries whose award winning packaging makes them even more impressive. The Oloroso was named Best Sherry in the 2007 New Wave Spanish Wine Awards and the Amontillado was also included within the 'Top 109'.
