Walnut, halva, singed almond and green tea notes give this an intriguing profile, flirting with an off-dry character. Stays dry through the bitter orange – edged finish.
About Lustau
Lustau is exceptional sherry. In recent years, Emilio Lustau has won many awards for its sherry quality, not least the title of “Best Spanish Bodega”. Many of the prizes have gone to the house’s own wines, but some have actually also gone to the so-called almacenista sherries, for which Emilio Lustau is very well known. Small, individual winegrowers sell their, often very nuanced, wine to Lustau. Where all other sherry houses blend the almacenistas’ wine in-house, Emilio Lustau is the only house that allows the almacenista wines to be bottled separately. Regardless of which Lustau sherry you choose as your first acquaintance, you will not for a moment doubt why Emilio Lustau is the leading star of the area and a trendsetter in the rest of the world!
The foundations of Lustau were laid in 1896, when José Ruiz-Berdejo, in his spare time, began to cultivate the vines that stood on the family property, Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza. Humble beginnings, which turned into more when the wines began to be sold to larger sherry producers – an activity known in the area as “almacenista”. In 1931, José’s daughter, María Ruiz-Berdejo Alberti, bought a small winery closer to Jerez de la Frontera, giving the family greater visibility. In the 1940s, Maria’s husband, Emilio Lustau Ortega, moved the winery to the old part of the city and began to expand the business in old, Moorish buildings, still as an almacenista. In 1945, however, Lustau stopped that occupation and began selling his own sherry brands. The name Lustau became synonymous with quality and in 1990 Lustau joined forces with another prominent company name in the spirits industry, Luis Caballero. It ensured additional stability and economic muscle.
Today, Lustau is considered a benchmark for world-class sherry. There have been many medals and trophies, e.g. “Best Spanish Winery” in 2011 and “Best Sherry Producer” in 2014 and 2016 at the International Wine & Spirit Competition.
