Fernando de Castilla – Amontillado Antique
Palomino from Jerez, Spain
DB0875-NV
Palomino from Jerez, Spain
The Antique Amontillado comes from a very old Fino (8 yrs old) which is refortified from 15.5% to 18.0% ABV and introduced into a solera of Amontillado where it spends a further 12 years. Winemaker's Notes: Light amber color. Exceptionally aromatic, completely dry and long aftertaste.

Fernando de Castilla – Amontillado Classic
Palomino from Jerez, Spain
DB1726-NV
Palomino from Jerez, Spain
An extraordinarily fine, complex and sophisticated drink. Beautiful shining amber colour, fascinatingly complex raisined, nutty, tangy nose and a flavour, flatteringly sweet at first, easing into semi dry at the finish whilst displaying layer upon layer of deliciously plump sensations on the way.
