Dynamic biological ageing under velo flor for approximately 5 years using the criaderas and soleras system in American oak casks.
Description
Fernando de Castilla Fino En Rama is one of those rarities that explain why Jerez remains a world apart. The winery, now run with great sensitivity by Jan Pettersen, has been working for years with a very clear vision: to present the Marco de Jerez unvarnished, without compromise, showcasing the full truth of biological ageing and all the energy of the albariza. This wine is crafted from a very limited selection of casks, chosen to express the purest, most vibrant and briny side of fino in its almost original state. Here, there is no desire to polish the character, but rather to preserve it. That decision – almost courageous in an era of more accommodating profiles – makes this Jerez sherry a statement of authenticity.
Fernando de Castilla Fino En Rama is made from Palomino grapes from the historic Añina vineyard, one of the great names in the region. The albariza soils—poor and white—are decisive, as is the Atlantic climate characterised by humid westerly winds and dry easterly winds. All of this, within the D.O. Jerez Xérès Sherry, gives rise to an austere, dry wine, deeply mineral and imbued with a salinity that can only be found here.
Production
The fermentation of Fernando de Castilla Fino En Rama begins in stainless steel tanks to preserve purity and precision. The wine is then fortified and transferred to the traditional criaderas and soleras system, where it ages under a flor yeast layer for an average of around 6 years. This biological ageing in oak casks refines the wine, dries it out, lengthens its finish and imbues it with that sharp, almondy character so characteristic of great fino en rama. Fernando de Castilla Fino En Rama is bottled with minimal intervention, preserving its lively and direct character as much as possible.
Flavour
On the nose, Fernando de Castilla Fino En Ramais quintessentially Sherry: fresh yeast, bread dough, raw almonds, hazelnuts, citrus peel, dried herbs and a distinct iodine-like undertone. On the palate, it is dry, sharp, briny and very upright. The texture is textured, almost tactile, yet always dominated by a sharp freshness. The finish carries hints of nuts, a sea breeze and a noble bitterness. Fernando de Castilla Fino En Rama does not seek to please everyone; it seeks to thrill those who love the purity, tension and authenticity of great sherry.
