What it pairs with
-
Perdiz a la toledana (Toledo-style partridge)

Dark chocolate with sea salt
Coffee and dark-fruit notes in the wine pair with bitter-salt chocolate.
History
Like all Antique wines, this Oloroso is from a single unblended solera in the Santiago bodega, presented without cold stabilisation to show the maximum natural character of oxidatively aged Palomino Fino. The Antique range was conceived as an artisan alternative to large-house blended Olorosos.
- 1998 — Antique Oloroso introduced in the Fernando de Castilla Antique range
