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.
This Manzanilla Pasada of Sanlúcar is aged for seven years in a solera of 80 barrels. Pale and straw like, the wine has a nose reminiscent of green apple but there is a characteristic salinity which immediately transports the drinker to the land of bacalao and gazpacho. The palate is dry and refreshing while maintaining good structure and a full body. This would be a fantastic pairing for meaty fish served in a rich and creamy sauce, or with sushi.

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.
