Fernando de Castilla

Jerez, Cádiz, Spain One of the most exceptional of the small independent Sherry houses, Fernando del Castilla was revitalized in 1999 by Jan Petersen - a Norwegian with a passion for top quality sherry. After 15 years of experience at Osbourne in Jerez, Jan was ready to embark on his own adventure. He took over the cellars of the Sherry shipper José Bustamante, which were conveniently located next door to the main facilities of Fernando del Castilla. Jan quickly re-established the Del Castilla house, helping it to regain its reputation for masterful production and ageing of fine, unblended, untreated sherries.
