Lustau LOS ARCOS Amontillado Medium Dry 18,5% Vol. 0,75l
£20.70
The Lustau Amontillado Los Arcos Medium Dry is a semi-dry sherry with 18.5% vol. that impressively demonstrates how multifaceted and full of character the Spanish sherry tradition can be. This fine wine is produced by the prestigious Bodega Lustau in Jerez de la Frontera – one of the world’s leading names for high-quality sherry. Los Arcos Amontillado comes from the Solera ageing process, in which different vintages are aged in oak barrels for many years, giving the wine complexity, depth and finesse.
Typical of an amontillado, its maturation begins under a protective flor yeast, as with fino, but is later exposed to oxidation, which gives it its characteristic amber colour and nutty aroma. The “Medium Dry” style means that this sherry has a fine, restrained sweetness that harmonises perfectly with the spicy, dry structure. The result is a versatile wine that shines both on its own and as an accompaniment to food.
Tasting NoteLustau Los Arcos has a warm amber colour with golden reflections in the glass. The nose reveals complex aromas of roasted almonds, dried fruit, toffee and fine spices. On the palate, it is balanced, medium-bodied and elegant with a fine sweetness that is perfectly balanced with the savoury and nutty notes. The finish is long, dry and spicy, accompanied by a gentle warmth.
This Amontillado is ideal as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to tapas, smoked ham, hard cheese or mushroom dishes. It is also a stylish accompaniment to white meat dishes, pâtés or Asian cuisine with slightly sweet and spicy flavours. It can also be enjoyed slightly chilled as an elegant soloist – ideal for connoisseurs of classic, nuanced wines with an Andalusian character.
Residual sugar content: approx. 20-25 g/l – Medium dry, with a fine sweetness and nutty depth, harmonious and versatile.
