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.
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.

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.

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.
