This wine has a double life and twice the character. A true conversation starter.
The Best of Both Worlds
Los Arcos is what happens when a Fino grows up but keeps its salty soul. It starts life aging biologically, crisp and clean under a veil of yeast (flor). Then the flor fades, and a second, oxidative story begins, transforming the wine and adding notes of toasted hazelnuts and salted almonds.
The nose has whispers of its youth—ocean breeze and crushed chalk—before the richness unfolds. The palate is completely dry and laser-focused, with a thrilling tension between saline freshness and nutty complexity. This Sherry walks a tightrope and never misses a step.
How to Enjoy
Serve slightly chilled to highlight its dual personality. Excellent with smoked almonds, artichokes, or mushroom soup.
