Lustau Rare Amontillado "Escuadrilla" Half Bottle

Lustau Rare Amontillado "Escuadrilla" Half Bottle

Another gem from Lustau. Initially aged under a veil of yeast, followed by several years ageing in the oxidative process.

This is a classic Amontillado, with nutty and sweet aromas on the nose. Dry and round on the palate, with a long finish.

Ideal to go with hearty soups, anchovies and spicy Indian meals.

Emilio Lustau, one of Spain's greatest Sherry bodegas, is named after Don Emilio Lustau Ortega, son-in-law of founder Don José Ruiz-Berdejo y Veyan. Don José, of French descent, founded the family firm in 1896 at his home in Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza, but in the 1940s Don Emilio moved the firm to the Santiago district of Jerez. The firm saw significant expansion, and joined the ranks of the top Sherry producers under Don Emilio's name. The family home was never abandoned, though, and in the 1970s extensive cellars were constructed there. Emilio Lustau is now a leader in Sherry production, certainly when judged on quality.
