Overview
The Lustau Dry Amontillado Los Arcos is a masterpiece that bridges the finest elements of Sherry's biological and oxidative ageing techniques. Starting life as a Fino, this wine transitions into an Amontillado through fortification and oxidative ageing, resulting in a golden-hued amber elixir of exceptional depth and complexity. With its intricate balance of nutty richness and savoury intrigue, it’s an unforgettable experience for Sherry novices and enthusiasts alike. Perfectly paired with nuts, cheese, asparagus, or risottos, it is a versatile and sophisticated choice for any occasion.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, this Amontillado enchants with aromas of raisins, toffee, and honey, interwoven with subtle hints of olives and a refreshing lemon lift. The palate is rich and full-bodied, presenting an off-dry edge with layered flavours of hazelnuts, almonds, and walnuts, complemented by notes of dates, dried figs, and clove-studded orange. A vibrant acidity elevates the finish, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and harmony.
