Product Description
Details
Lustau Amontillado Escuadrilla is a fortified dry wine produced by Emilio Lustau.
After the harvest, the young Palomino grapes were vinified. The resulting wine was transferred into American oak barrels and fortified with wine alcohol until it reached an alcoholic degree of 15º.
Then the wine was aged following the biological method until the layer of yeasts serendipitously broke. At that moment, the winemaker fortified again the wine in order to reach 17º of alcoholic content.
From that moment on, this wine produced in the region of Jerez-Xérèz-Sherry became an Amontillado. After that, it was aged for over a period of 12 years using the traditional Soleras and Criaderas system.
Lustau Amontillado Escuadrilla, just as every Amontillado, was born to be a Fino, and only became what it is by sheer chance.
