Every spring, when the flor layer in Lustau's barrels reaches its peak, the cellar master selects the best casks from each of the sherry triangle's three towns and bottles them unfiltered. This Fino comes from Jerez itself.
Expert's Description
Lustau Fino En Rama de Jerez 2024 Spring Release is a Sherry from Jerez, Spain made from the Palomino grape, bottled at 15% ABV.
En Rama means "on the branch" and refers to sherry bottled straight from the cask without fining or filtration. Lustau is the only house to make three different En Rama sherries - one from each town of the sherry triangle, Jerez, Sanlúcar and El Puerto - to show how each town's microclimate shapes the sherry under the biological layer of flor yeast. This edition is from Jerez itself and is released every spring, when the flor layer is at its thickest.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sharp and yeasty, with almond and a hint of green olives.
Palate
Dry and crisp, with a lively, saline character from the flor ageing.
Finish
Short to medium, clean and refreshing.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve well chilled at 7-9°C in a sherry glass or white wine glass. Fino pairs perfectly with tapas, almonds, ham and shellfish - and should be enjoyed fresh, ideally soon after opening.
