In 1896 what is now Emilio Lustau SA was founded by Don Jose Ruiz-Berdejo y Veyan, an original Almacenista at Nuestra Senora de la Esperanza. As an acknowledgement of this heritage Lustau has produced a sherry that is a reflection of the past. In centuries gone by casks of sherry were lashed to ships sailing for the Indies as ballast and as a result they were found to develop an extraordinary smoothness and complexity. This sherry is like Creme Brulee in a bottle, with some nice acidity to balance the rich sweetness. (6 x 75 cl)
A tawny gold colour, this elegant and classic amontillado wine is pungent and aromatic, with oaky notes. On the palate it is nutty, with a hint of sweetness, but with a lingering dry finish. (12 x 37.5 cl)
