Fernando de Castilla Antique Fino Sherry NV (50cl)

No more than two to three casks of this wine per year are bottled. The wine was created for a very specific group of consumers who understand that the product is not old, but just developed further than other Finos. The winemaker remarks that he thought that it was only himself and his friends in Jerez and “a few other Sherry nuts” who would even like it, but it appears that it has become a favourite in a number of top restaurants and that interest in this type of more evolved and unusual wines, is increasing. Rich and long with greater depth and complexity than a standard Fino – as such owner Jan Pettersen refers to this as his ‘Winter’ Fino! Appealing salty tang and a long citrus finish. Very fresh and pure. This should be served cool, but not very cold. It pairs well with smoked fish, Spanish charcuterie and mature cheeses. Jan enjoys this with scallops served with herbs and garlic.
