Tasting notes
A dry, deep amber Oloroso with aromas of roasted walnuts, dried orange peel, toffee, tobacco and polished wood. The palate is round and full-bodied, with flavors of hazelnut, dried fig, caramelized nuts and gentle spice. Bright acidity and a saline edge keep it fresh and balanced, leading to a long, warming, nutty finish.

About this wine
Fernando de Castilla Oloroso Classic is a dry Oloroso sherry from the Jerez-Xeres-Sherry appellation in Andalucía, southern Spain. It is made from Palomino and bottled at 19% abv.
Oloroso is aged oxidatively, without a veil of flor, so the style runs darker and broader than fino or manzanilla. Expect walnut, dried orange peel and savoury spice on a dry, textured palate. Serve it lightly cooled with aged cheeses, jamón and other cured meats, or salted nuts. It also stands up to red meat and slow-cooked stews, and works well alongside rich soups.
