Lustau Solera Familiar Los Arcos Amontillado Sherry

Los Arcos comes from Emilio Lustau, the Jerez sherry house also known as Bodegas Lustau. It belongs to Solera Familiar, Lustau's core range, once called Solera Reserva.

It's 100% Palomino, aged at the Bodega Emperatriz Eugenia in Jerez de la Frontera in a solera of American oak casks. As an Amontillado, it ages first under a layer of flor yeast, then oxidatively once the flor fades. It's a dry sherry, at 18.5% alcohol.

It's dry, with toasted hazelnut and walnut, caramelised almond and dried orange peel, and a savoury, saline, slightly bitter finish.

Against Harveys Bristol Cream, Los Arcos is dry and savory rather than sweet; for an aperitif with salted nuts, choose Los Arcos.

Serve it lightly chilled, around 55°F. Pour it with Marcona almonds, olives, jamón, aged Manchego or mushroom dishes, or splash a little into a soup or pan sauce. The 375ml bottle is an easy way to try it before committing to the 750ml.
