Bodegas Emilio Lustau,
Drink now,
An archetypical Manzanilla, aged in the cathedral-like calm of Lustau’s Bodega in Sanlucar De Barramada. Sea breezes, carried down the Guadalquivir Estuary, add inimitable freshness to this poised and poignant wine. Almonds with a twist of citric acidity inform a palate which has few peers as an al fresco aperitif, with or without a plate of mariscos.
Simon Field MW – Buyer
A text-book, bone dry Manzanilla from the town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, light and fresh, very tangy, clean and crisp with just a hint of saltiness.

Bodegas Emilio Lustau,
Drink now,
Bodegas Emilio Lustau was established in 1896 and was initially a small family concern until the founder`s son-in-law placed it on a business footing. The firm is perhaps best known as pioneering the Almacenista system, whereby individual dry Sherries are produced from small private holdings. These are bottled under Lustau`s name but with the individual bodega's name on the label as well. Today they are amongst the most sought-out Sherries in the region.
The famous house of Emilio Lustau has been maturing Fino Sherries in Puerto de Santa María since 1869. This superlative example harnesses their expertise to offer a wine of great pedigree. Aromatics of sea air, yeast and green apples lead to an equally distinguished palate, which is marked by its smoky gravitas and great potential to match a wide variety of tapas dishes.

Barbadillo,
Ready, but will keep,
Sherry is probably the most under-valued fine wine in the world, with levels of complexity and persistence that would command a 10-fold increase in price were they sourced from Bordeaux or Burgundy. When to drink this gem: before dinner with some salted almonds or olives works, as does afterwards, with some walnuts. Oloroso is also surprisingly good with robust meat dishes.
Our Dry Oloroso has a nose suggestive of something sweet, with its notes of walnuts and dried fruit, so the lack of sweetness on the palate is initially something of a shock. As the layers of flavour unfold in your mouth, this is clearly a very different wine from a more commercial, sweetened cream Sherry. In addition to the nuts and raisined-depth, there is a haunting toffee-sweetness on the palate of this dry wine. The finish persists for an age.

This Amontillado, especially blended for us and classically aged in Jerez de la Frontera, expertly captures vestigial freshness from the flor yeast, which has been allowed to die, in return adding colour, texture and complex malty hazelnut flavours to an unnervingly complex ensemble.

Aged for 12 years in the bodegas of Jerez, this is rusty gold in colour. Full-bodied, it has great intensity on the nose due to the long ageing. This wine combines softness and great complexity, giving enormous length on the palate. Rich stews and red meats would be a very good food pairing for this wine. It is also an excellent digestif.

Bodegas Emilio Lustau,
Ready, but will keep,
Exceptionally well priced, exceptionally decedent Cream sherry, made, needless to say, by the solera method, with an extraordinary nutty texture and fine balance between the alcohol and sweetness.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer
Cream Sherry is a blend of Oloroso, made from the Palomino Fino grape, and Pedro Ximenez, a grape that produces dark, sweet, concentrated wines. The "Capataz Andres" is green/gold in color and features flavors of sweet raisins, dates and figs. Rich, sweet, ripe fruit lingers smoothly and seductively on the palate. This is a dessert wine, meant to drink with cakes, tarts or fruit. It can also be consumed on its own, as a digestif, after a meal

This award-winning sweet Sherry is reminiscent of rich, concentrated fig and raisin fruits. Made from Palomino Fino and sweetened with Pedro Ximénez, it is perfect with mature Cheddar cheese, light desserts and cakes.

Equipo Navazos,
Drink now,
Equipo Navazos is a team of Sherry hunters, rescuing particularly special barrels of wine from the cellars of Jerez, Sanlúcar and El Puerto, as well as in and around Montilla. Originally only for personal consumption, there has been such demand that these Sherries are now available on the market. Every release gets more and more interesting and this single-vineyard Fino is no exception.
This saca was drawn in June 2014 from the solera and second criadera, and has an estimated average age of 10 years. On the nose, the Fino is very intense with aromas of seaweed and crisp green apple. The palate shows the depth and buttery texture from the solera, with a lovely, nutty, salted-almond finish.

Twangingly fresh, the notes of herbs, nuts and even caramel make for a truly invigorating wine which finishes dry, long and serious. An excellent apéritif on its own, or a perfect partner to cold meats such as morcón or bull negre, black pudding, sautéed lamb and hard cheeses.

Rich and deeply concentrated with mahogany colouring, this has a nose of Medieval academic achievement, entwined with raisins, dried plums and a hint of gunpowder. A venerable and dry wine, it is complex yet incredibly pure on the finish, chromatic and beguiling.

This astonishing wine has been selected from one of the best casks of the solera of Amontillado San Bartolomé. On the nose the aromas are reminiscent of butterscotch, noble wood, old leather and wax polish. Savoury, almost saline, this is an outstanding example to display the merits of extensive ageing and great patience.

Equipo Navazos,
Ready, but will keep,
Another old, rare and concentrated Sherry, the NV La Bota de Palo Cortado Bota Punta 48 is a single-cask, very old (around 70 years of age) Palo Cortado originated in the vineyards of Gaspar Florido in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. It aged for a long time allowing it to gain concentration over time, most probably with a few years under flor in its youth. It's sharp and pungent, really intense in the palate. It has notes of cigar ash, hints of malted cereals, peat, and smoke, with a super-intense palate with persistent flavors and an extremely salty, really concentrated ending. Simply superb!

Palomino, named after Fernan Yanez Palomonio, one of King Alfonso X`s knights, is the primary grape variety for Sherry styles (Fino, Manzanilla, Amontillado, Oloroso, Palo Cortado) production.
It is a high yielding variety that is widely planted in Spain producing mostly insipid thin, dull wines lacking in fruit and acidity. However it thrives on the predominantly chalk based soils of Cadiz where it produces large bunches of golden yellow grapes, which ripen in early September. The resulting must is transparent in colour and somewhat neutral in flavour, but the subsequent wine can develop a coating of flor before maturing in the solera system and produce a whole range of intense and aromatic sherries.
It is also grown in South Africa, California, and Australia where it is fortified to make sherry-style wines.
