Lustau Emilin Moscatel Jerez Xeres Sherry 75 cl 17%

Where most sweet sherries rely on Pedro Ximenez, Emilin takes a different path and lets the Moscatel grape's natural, floral aroma take over.

Expert's Description

Lustau Emilin Moscatel is a Moscatel Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from the Moscatel grape with an alcohol content of 17%. Moscatel, like Pedro Ximenez, is a sweet sherry style where the grapes are sun-dried to concentrate the sugar content, but the Moscatel grape's natural aroma profile gives a more floral, perfumed character than the darker, raisin-driven Pedro Ximenez. Emilin is named in honour of one of the bodega's historic figures and represents Bodegas Lustau's interpretation of this less widespread but characterful sherry style.
