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.
An exemplary Almacenista from the exemplary Bodegas Lustau, Manuel Jurado’s Amontillado is simply outstanding. Deeper in colour than some, it rejoices in notes of walnut, tangy apricot, spice and hints of mocha. Very gently smoky, the style shows off the full and gloriously complex potential of a top Amontillado.

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.
