Emilio Lustau
Emilio Lustau is one of the most renowned sherry bodegas in Spain – and a real insider tip for anyone who really wants to understand fortified wines.
In sun-drenched Jerez de la Frontera, where 300 days of sunshine a year set the rhythm, sherries of impressive depth are produced: nutty Amontillados, velvety Pedro Ximénez, and the salty, vibrant Manzanilla Papirusa – matured under the cool sea breeze of the Guadalquivir. Each glass tells a story of time, craftsmanship, and a distinctive terroir.
Prepare to be surprised – Lustau will show you how versatile and fascinating sherry can truly be.
Emilio Lustau –
Sherry craftsmanship from Jerez de la Frontera
Emilio Lustau is one of the most renowned bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera – a city where sherry is not a niche product, but a way of life. Around 300 days of sunshine a year characterize the climate, but it is the interplay of the Albariza chalk soils, the Atlantic sea breeze, and the Solera system that gives the wines their depth.
The range extends from the bone-dry, nutty Amontillado to the lively, salty Manzanilla Papirusa – matured under the cool influence of the Guadalquivir – and on to the dense, raisin-like sweet Pedro Ximénez. Each style follows the same principle: long aging in American oak barrels, no shortcuts, no compromises in craftsmanship.
Those who only know sherry by hearsay will find a compelling introduction at Lustau – and those already convinced will discover cuvées here that demonstrate just how much complexity can be contained in a single glass. Amontillado pairs well with aged Manchego or Jamón Ibérico; Pedro Ximénez complements dark chocolate or vanilla ice cream.
