Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla, established in 1837, is renowned for its dedication to producing high-quality, unblended, and untreated Sherries. Situated in Jerez, the winery focuses on traditional methods to craft wines that authentically express the region's terroir.
-
FARMING: Sustainable practices
-
TERROIR: Sourced from estate-owned vineyards in the Jerez district, characterized by Albariza soils—chalky, limestone-rich terrains ideal for Sherry production.
-
VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested Palomino grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks. The base wine is fortified to approximately 15% alcohol and undergoes biological aging under a layer of flor yeast. This process occurs in the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where cooler temperatures contribute to the wine's distinctive freshness and delicacy.
-
AGING: Aged in a traditional solera system for an average of three years, allowing for consistent quality and complexity.
-
TASTING NOTES: Pale straw in color, this Manzanilla offers aromas of chamomile, almonds, and hints of sea breeze. The palate is bone-dry and light-bodied, featuring flavors of green apple, salted nuts, and a subtle saline minerality, leading to a crisp, refreshing finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with tapas such as olives, almonds, and jamón ibérico; pairs well with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp, oysters, and fried calamari.
