{"product_id":"fernando-de-castilla-palo-cortado-antique-espagne","title":"Fernando de Castilla - Palo Cortado Antique","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating from the prestigious Andalusian region of Jerez de la Frontera, this Palo Cortado Antique from the Fernando de Castilla estate comes from vineyards located around the Sherry Triangle, between Jerez, El Puerto de Santa María, and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. These plots benefit from albariza soils rich in limestone, renowned for their ability to retain moisture and concentrate aromas. The Mediterranean-oceanic climate, marked by the influence of the Atlantic, promotes a slow and balanced ripening of the Palomino Fino grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the Fernando de Castilla estate, Palo Cortado Antique is made from Palomino Fino grapes harvested in the Jerez region, then vinified as a dry base wine before fortification. The wine is then aged for an extended period in oak barrels according to the traditional solera and criaderas system, where it develops both the aromatic finesse of Amontillados and the structure of Oloroso, reaching great complexity before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ewalnut\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003etoasted almond\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003ecandied orange peel\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by hints of \u003cstrong\u003ecaramel\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003efine wood\u003c\/strong\u003e , as well as saline and \u003cstrong\u003emineral\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances.
