Classic Amontillado, having undergone years of racking and cellaring to attain the electrifying dry to medium sweet flavours. Amber coloured, exquisitely balanced and showing great character from maturity. A seriously versatile wine, which mates beautifully with any game dish or rare roasted meat, the tried and true aperitif or accompaniement to festive occasions. The traditional companion to consomme, roast game bird, foie gras or fully flavoured, robust cuisine. A finer Amontillado would be hard to find.
The secret of Lustau lies in its ageing and blending. This very special old Sherry consists of many different wines taken from butts containing wines of different ages. The work of blending is an art, practised by the winemakers who use all their five senses, but especially the sense of smell. In the laboratory, small quantities of wines from different butts are blended, before an amount of wine alcohol required to fortify the Amontillado is decided for each individual batch. Serve at a cooler room temperature. Alcohol 18.5%
