Lustau Los Arcos Amontillado NV 375ml

Los Arcos Amontillado is part of my wine DNA. I've been selling this wine for almost as long as I've been selling wine. Amontillado is a great Sherry style. Dry, clean, fresh, moreish. Amontillado is one of the easier Sherries to start with because it doesn't confront your palate too much. Los Arcos Amontillado is a great entry point. It has the classic flavours. It's spicy, nutty, dry. It has a fresh palate, with good richness at the core. The wine ends clean. There is definitely more complex Amontillado available. But value-wise and sheer drinkability make this Los Arcos Amontillado a winner. Importantly, due to the production methods used, you can leave a bottle of Amontillado open for at least 6 months before start seeing any deterioration. Emilio Lustau has been one of the forerunners in quality, Sherry. Known for sourcing extraordinary Sherry from private Soleras, these 'Almacentista' bottlings are now iconic. The secret to the success of all the Lustau wines is the age, density and balance of their wines.
