Bodegas Lustau, based in the historic sherry-producing city of Jerez, is recognized globally as a bastion of top-quality sherry wines. With a legacy spanning over a century, Lustau's dedication to crafting nuanced and authentic expressions of sherry is unparalleled. Their Reserva Solera Rare Amontillado "Escuadrilla" hails from a meticulous selection of wines aged first under the protective layer of flor yeast, typical of Fino sherries, before undergoing oxidative aging like Olorosos. This dual aging process lends Amontillado sherries their unique and complex profile, and Lustau's Escuadrilla is a splendid representation of this style.

This 12-year oak-matured superior amontillado sherry boasts a very dry profile with gentle fruity, oak, and raisin notes. It is a high-quality, fresh, smooth, and full-bodied sherry. Produced through a unique process blending biological aging under flor yeast with oxidative aging, it acquires a distinct character. The initial 6 years develop pungent dryness, followed by fortification to 17% alcohol, initiating a decade-long oxidative aging. This double process yields complex and intriguing amontillados, noted for their elegant, subtle, amber appearance. Ideal pairings include smoked fish salads, mushrooms, red fruits, mature cheeses, and white meat or fish in oil.
