Amontillado Los Arcos Solera Familiar, Bodegas Lustau

Jerez de la Frontera, Andalucía, Spain

Elegant, layered and endlessly expressive, the Amontillado Los Arcos is a masterclass in balance, the perfect bridge between the freshness of a Fino and the depth of a mature oxidative Sherry. Amber-gold in colour, it opens with inviting aromas of toasted hazelnut, caramelised almond, and a hint of dried orange peel, underpinned by subtle notes of warm wood and flor. On the palate, it’s dry and refined, with a silken texture and flavours of roasted nuts, toffee and saline spice unfolding in slow harmony. The finish is long and savoury, with echoes of nut skin and sea salt, graceful, contemplative, and quietly powerful.

For when: the conversation gets deep and the light turns golden.
Pairs with: consommé, smoked fish, jamón Ibérico or spicy Asian dishes.
If this wine were a sound, it’d be a low jazz chord, mellow, resonant, and perfectly composed.

Made from 100% Palomino, the Los Arcos is aged in Bodega Emperatriz Eugenia in Jerez de la Frontera, spending its life equally divided between two worlds: biological ageing under a veil of flor, and oxidative ageing once the flor naturally fades. This dual maturation gives the wine its signature complexity, the saline lift of a Fino married to the warm, nutty richness of an Oloroso.

Part of Lustau’s Solera Familiar range, Amontillado Los Arcos is a benchmark of its style: authentic, precise and effortlessly sophisticated. Serve lightly chilled at 13–14°C and enjoy it as one of Andalusia’s great gastronomic wines, versatile, refined, and unmistakably Lustau.

Regarded as one of the greatest and most respected names in Sherry, Bodegas Lustau stands at the pinnacle of Andalusian winemaking, a benchmark for quality, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Founded in 1896 by José Ruiz-Berdejo, the estate began as a small almacenista (stockholder) ageing and blending wines for larger houses. Over the decades, Lustau evolved from humble beginnings into a global ambassador for fine Sherry, earning acclaim for its meticulous sourcing, blending, and innovation.

Based in Jerez de la Frontera, with additional bodegas in El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Lustau uniquely represents all three of the Sherry Triangle’s towns, allowing the house to showcase the full spectrum of terroir and style: from the saline freshness of Manzanilla to the nutty depth of Amontillado and the velvety opulence of Pedro Ximénez.

Lustau’s defining strength lies in its unparalleled range. The Solera Reserva series highlights traditional, meticulously aged styles; the Almacenista collection honours small independent producers and their individual soleras; and the VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) range offers century-old treasures of staggering complexity and rarity. Every wine undergoes patient maturation under flor or oxidative ageing in centuries-old casks, capturing the delicate balance between time, air, and wood.

Under the guidance of Emilio Lustau’s successors and now as part of the Caballero Group, the bodega continues to set the gold standard for Sherry, combining heritage and innovation with unwavering precision. Today, Lustau is celebrated not only for its technical mastery but for preserving the living soul of Jerez: wines of profound depth, layered aromatics, and timeless Andalusian grace.
