Sourced from the famed Lustau solera in Jerez, this Amontillado is classified VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry), denoting over 30 years of meticulous ageing. Made from 100% Palomino grapes, it starts life as a Fino, ageing under flor, before further oxidative ageing in seasoned oak casks.
Bouquet An intricate nose of roasted hazelnuts, dried orange peel, antique wood, and sea spray. Layers of smoky spice and caramelised almond linger beneath the surface.
Palate Dry, elegant, and savoury with incredible depth. Notes of toffee, walnut skin, tobacco leaf, and aged balsamic interplay with bright acidity and a persistent saline finish. A sherry of immense character and finesse.
Food Pairing Pair with aged Manchego, jamón ibérico, or wild mushroom pâté. A standout with umami-rich dishes or as a contemplative sipper with toasted nuts.
Cellaring Already aged to perfection, this wine is ready to enjoy now. Once opened, store cool and sealed, and enjoy within several weeks.
Interesting Fact Lustau’s VORS classification requires not just age but also verification by an independent panel—making each bottle a certified piece of sherry heritage.
