The Lustau Amontillado Los Arcos NV is a classic dry Sherry from Jerez, crafted from 100% Palomino and aged using the traditional solera system, combining both biological (flor) and oxidative ageing. This dual ageing process gives the wine its distinctive balance of freshness and complexity, making it one of the most accessible and representative styles of Amontillado. The nose is rich and expressive, showing toasted hazelnut, almond and dried fruit, layered with notes of toffee, caramel and a subtle saline edge.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a smooth, round texture balanced by lively acidity. Flavours of nuts, salted caramel and dried stone fruit lead to a long, clean and gently savoury finish. The style is dry yet approachable, offering complexity without heaviness and a refined, traditional Sherry character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best entry points into premium Sherry. It’s ideal for customers curious about fortified wines or those who enjoy nutty, savoury profiles like Jura or aged whites. This is not sweet - it’s dry, complex and very food-friendly. Serve slightly chilled. Perfect with nuts, aged cheeses, tapas, mushrooms or umami-rich dishes.
