The Lustau Amontillado Los Arcos Medium Dry is a semi-dry sherry with an alcohol content of 18.5 per cent by volume, which impressively demonstrates just how multifaceted and distinctive Spain’s 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 in premium sherry. The Los Arcos Amontillado is produced using the Solera ageing method, in which different vintages mature in layers within oak casks over many years, giving the wine greater complexity, depth and finesse.

Typical of an Amontillado, its ageing begins under a protective layer of flor yeast, as with Fino, but it is later exposed to oxidation, which gives it its characteristic amber hue and nutty aromas. The ‘Medium Dry’ style means that this sherry possesses a delicate, subtle sweetness that harmonises perfectly with its spicy, dry structure. The result is a versatile wine that shines both on its own and as an accompaniment to food.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Lustau Los Arcos displays a warm amber colour with golden highlights. On the nose, complex aromas of toasted almonds, dried fruit, toffee and delicate spices unfold. On the palate, it is well-balanced, medium-bodied and elegant, with a delicate sweetness that is superbly balanced by salty and nutty notes. The finish is long, dry and spicy, accompanied by a gentle warmth.

This Amontillado is ideal as an aperitif or served with tapas, smoked ham, hard cheeses 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 likewise be enjoyed slightly chilled as an elegant stand-alone wine – ideal for lovers of classic, nuanced wines with an Andalusian character.

Residual sugar content: approx. 20–25 g/l – Medium Dry, with a delicate sweetness and nutty depth, harmonious and versatile.
