Lustau

East India Solera - Oloroso Cream

Jerez DO

Espagne - Andalousie

This iconic Lustau wine takes its name from a 17th century trading company who noticed that the transatlantic voyage and the temperatures of the Caribbean enhanced the wine, making it smoother and more complex. Lustau tries to reproduce these conditions to create this East India Solera. Its aging process recreates that of the wines that crossed the oceans on these 17th century voyages and returned to European ports with added complexity and smoothness. It is the result of a blend of the best olorosos (palomino) and pedro ximénez wines aged separately in solera for 12 years then from a second assembled aging, always in solera (made up of 45 American oak barrels) for 3 years.

Beautiful dark mahogany color with green and amber edge. It offers vibrant notes of maple syrup, brown sugar, wax, raisin, nuts and chocolate, all very well integrated. On the palate, it is soft (sugar: 140 g / l) and rich on the attack, full of flavors of prunes and candied orange peels. Provocative spicy notes appear just before the nutty and its formidable acidity does not cut the sweetness. With a truly unforgettable finish.

Wine style:

Sweet white wine. Oxidative wine.

12 years

Lustau

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.
