A superb wine, not just for International Sherry Week
Fernando de Castilla Antique Amontillado NV, Spain (£23.99 per 50cl Virgin Wines*)
Wonderful gentle yet complex style, with lush flavours of creamy butter toffee, tangy Christmas cake fruits and spices and a touch of herbs. Soft yet persistent and heady, with a generous finish. Try it with some good roast chicken or old hard cheeses like parmesan, Cheddar or Gouda. G
* Virgin sent me my sample bottle, but it’s available in many other outlets
