Lustau Amontillado Solera del Castillo Sherry 125th Anniversary Sherry Edition
The coastal town of El Puerto de Santa María enjoys mild weather all the year round. This has a crucial influence on wines aged therein. Aged in the cellars of the Castle of San Marcos, where its temperature and humidity conditions intensifies the oxidative aging. The 20 casks inverted solera of Amontillado del Castillo has been untouched for 17 years, until now.
Intense and vigorous, extremely complex and full of nuances. Aromas of furniture polish, varnish and noble woods over a background of wafer biscuit, dried fruits and sweet spices. On the palate it’s sharp, dry, very saline, pungent, with plenty of iodine notes. A smoky and toasted finish, reminiscent of dried apricots and nougat.
It’s perfect to accompany dishes such as consommés, foie-gras, cold and smoked meats, a cheeseboard. It is a wine that pairs perfectly with spicy Asian cuisine. Serve at 13 – 14ºC /55 – 57ºF.
