Fernando de Castilla Antique Palo Cortado NV is an exceptional and complex sherry from Jerez, showcasing the rare character of Palo Cortado—a style that combines the aromatic finesse of Amontillado with the depth and richness of Oloroso. Aged for an extended period in the solera system, it delivers remarkable concentration, elegance, and balance, making it one of the standout wines in the Antique range. Producer Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla is renowned for its dedication to traditional sherry craftsmanship, focusing on purity, precision, and long ageing. The Antique range represents the house’s finest, most mature solera wines, bottled with minimal intervention to preserve their authenticity and depth. Tasting Notes Amber‑mahogany in colour, the wine opens with an expressive bouquet of toasted nuts, orange peel, dried fruit, and subtle spice. The palate is refined and powerful, offering layers of hazelnut, caramel, citrus zest, and savoury complexity, supported by vibrant acidity. The finish is long, dry, and beautifully nuanced, showing both richness and finesse. Food Pairing Serve slightly chilled at 12–14°C. Excellent with aged cheeses, Iberico ham, roasted nuts, mushroom dishes, and richly flavoured poultry. Its depth and structure also make it a superb contemplative wine on its own.
