Lustau
Papirusa Manzanilla
Jerez DO
Espagne - Andalousie
This cuvée has the same main characteristics as the fino but is obtained from a terroir and a significantly different aging environment. The manzanilla is a jerez, which has aged in the bodegas of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a small town located on the Guadalquivir estuary. It is often said that the sea air, rich in iodine, infuses wines during their stay in barrels and gives them a salty side distinct from the classic finos raised in Jerez de la Frontera.
Grape varieties:
100% palomino
Tasting Notes:
The color is golden with a slightly more intense color than that of Puerto Fino. The nose is subtly intense, iodized and marked by an assertive hint of fresh grated celery. On the palate, the attack is round, full-bodied and even fat. Great minerality with almost pebbly notes. The frame remains lively, marked by moderate acidity. The persistence is superb, carried by a clean, dry and particularly aromatic finish.
Wine style:
Dry white wine. Sailing wine.
Food and wine :
Cantabrian anchovies and arbequina olives. Bresse chicken supreme in a fine mustard crust and pan-fried chanterelles.
Aging potential in your cellar:
3 years
Analytic :
75 cl - 15% volume
Contains sulfites

Lustau is considered today as a world benchmark for quality Jerez wines. Its bet to combine tradition, innovation and quality in its wines and its wide range of Jerez has been rewarded and recognized by a multitude of prizes.
Lustau was founded in 1896 by Don José Ruiz-Berdejo. From a humble start: Don José, clerk, cultivated vines on his property in Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza. In his own house, he aged the wines which he then sold to the large exporting cellars. He was a merchant.
Lustau is the only winery that produces wines from the three towns of the Marco: Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
Today, the main office is in Jerez de la Frontera, it is the Los Arcos cellar complex, built in the 19th century and which houses six aging cellars dating from various eras with a cathedral structure. , high ceilings and immaculate albero floors that maintain a stable temperature and humidity, thus favoring the special microclimate that the wines of Jerez need and where true oenological gems of national and international prestige are aged.
Since 1896, the Lustau family has been using their sandy vineyards or “arenas” for moscatel. To make an authentic dry and elegant Jerez wine, only white chalk terroirs are suitable. Although the best vineyards on "albariza" (chalky soil) are not at the edge of the shore but rather between 10 and 30 km from the ocean, the maritime influence of some sherries comes from the aging in cellar near the sea.
The most famous of the Jerez wines is manzanilla, a separate appellation for the finos raised in the oceanfront town of Sanlucar de Barameda, but there is also a marine side to the Jerez raised in El Puerto de Santa Maria, a few steps from the port of Cadiz. It is often said that the sea air, rich in iodine, infuses wines during their stay in barrels.
The "plus" of jerez lies first of all in the combination of oxidative aromas with those born during aging under flor (veil): this in fact creates an obvious additional dimension when we combine the salty notes and the notes of caramel for example. Then, the permanent blend in the barrel structure of the solera results in a marriage of wines rich in oxidative aromas, with younger and more lively wines. These latter characteristics are normally absent from "classic" oxidative wines.

Lustau Very Rare Oloroso Emperatriz Eugenia
Aged for 15 years in Jerez de la Frontera, this oloroso is a rich and mellow wine, with lovely flavors of wood smoke, fruit, prunes and bitter chocolate.
This jerez has a bewitching nose. It's floral, very dry, quite lively, dried fruits, toasted and iodized. Powerful flavors of almonds and apples. Great personality...
An oxidative wine aged for 12 years in Jerez de la Frontera, this very typical oloroso has an intense and concentrated taste, lightened by a tangy finish.
