Lustau Oloroso Don Nuno
Lustau Don Nuño Oloroso is a striking, deeply coloured fortified wine that proves just how incredible a genuinely dry sherry can be. Pouring a dark mahogany brown in the glass, it immediately offers up intense, savoury aromas that are far removed from sweet dessert wines. Instead, you are met with bold notes of dark chocolate, roasted walnuts, and the warming scent of aged wood. The secret to this intense flavour profile is contact with the air. As the wine spends years resting in oak casks in the heat of southern Spain, water slowly evaporates. This concentrates the liquid left behind, creating a rich, full-bodied texture that coats the mouth and lingers on the finish without a trace of sugary sweetness. Because it packs such a punch, a single glass goes a long way. It is a fantastic pour for a relaxed evening and shines beautifully when paired with rich, savoury food. Try serving it slightly chilled alongside a strong mature cheddar, a simple plate of cured meats, or a slow-roasted beef joint for a truly memorable match.
