  Lustau Almacenista Amontillado Sherry 50 cl 18,5%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278450

  Amontillado is sherry's shape-shifter - a Fino that has lost its flor partway through ageing and begun to oxidise instead, giving it two characters at once.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Almacenista Amontillado is an Amontillado Sherry from Jerez, Spain, with an alcohol content of 18.5%. Amontillado starts life as a biologically aged Fino under protective flor, but is at some point moved to casks where the flor dies or is removed, after which the wine begins to oxidise like an Oloroso. The result is a sherry that combines Fino's sharp freshness with Oloroso's depth and nutty character. This edition comes from Lustau's Almacenista programme, which since 1981 has sought out and bottled unique wines from small, family-run stockholders in Jerez.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Powerful on the nose, with figs and nuts.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and dry on the palate, with a distinct complexity from the long, two-stage ageing.

  Finish

  The finish is lovely and long, with a light spice.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 12-14°C in a sherry glass. Enjoy as an aperitif or with mature cheeses and nuts.

  Lustau Almacenista Manzanilla Sherry 50 cl 17%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278445

  Almacenista means stockholder - a small producer who ages sherry in their own casks without exporting it themselves. Lustau's Almacenista range rescues these hidden gems from obscurity and bottles them under its own name.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Almacenista Manzanilla is a Manzanilla Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from the Palomino Fino grape with an alcohol content of 17%. Manzanilla is a biologically aged sherry style produced exclusively in the coastal town of Sanlucar de Barrameda, where the humid sea climate encourages a thick flor yeast film on the wine's surface during ageing. This flor protects the wine from oxygen and gives Manzanilla its characteristic sharp, saline freshness. Lustau's Almacenista programme, launched in 1981, aims to rescue and bottle unique wines from small, family-run stockholders.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sharp and saline on the nose, with notes of almonds and yeasty bread.

  Palate

  Dry and fresh on the palate with a lovely elegance and lightness.

  Finish

  The finish is short and clean, with a last salty hint.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve chilled at 7-9°C in a small sherry glass. Enjoy as an aperitif or with tapas and olives.

  Manzanilla can only be produced in Sanlucar de Barrameda - move the wine just a few kilometres away, and it loses its classification, because the flor yeast that creates the style only thrives in that specific place.

  Lustau Amontillado Escuadrilla Jerez Xeres Sherry 75 cl 18,5%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279865

  Amontillado is often called the golden middle way of the sherry world - and Escuadrilla is one of the examples that shows exactly why.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Amontillado Escuadrilla is an Amontillado Sherry from Jerez, Spain, with an alcohol content of 18.5%. Amontillado starts life as a biologically aged Fino under protective flor, but at some point transitions to oxidative ageing when the flor dies or is removed, giving the style its characteristic dual nature. Escuadrilla combines exactly this Oloroso fullness with Fino freshness, making it an accessible yet still complex Amontillado from Bodegas Lustau.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Nuances of crisp apples and mocha on the nose, with a hint of fig.

  Palate

  Medium-bodied and lovely fruity on the palate, with notes of nuts and fruit.

  Finish

  Lustau Brandy de Jerez Solera Reserva Spanish Brandy 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-555

  Not every Spanish brandy needs to be heavy and contemplative. Lustau's Solera Reserva is the house's entry point into the world of Jerez brandy — lighter on its feet, yet still built on the same centuries-old method.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Brandy de Jerez Solera Reserva is a Spanish Brandy de Jerez, matured in former Amontillado sherry casks through the traditional solera system, bottled at 40%.

  Behind the bottle stands Bodegas Lustau, whose history begins in 1896, when José Ruiz-Berdejo, a court secretary in Jerez, began growing vines in his spare time on the family estate Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza. His daughter María Ruiz-Berdejo and her husband Emilio Lustau Ortega later took over and developed the company, focusing on export and quality. Today Lustau is based in Jerez de la Frontera and is considered one of the most respected houses within Brandy de Jerez.

  Solera Reserva is the house's more approachable tier, with a shorter maturation time than the deeper Gran Reserva expression. The base spirit is made from the Airen and Palomino Fino grape varieties, and maturation takes place exclusively in casks that previously held Amontillado sherry — it is precisely these casks that give the brandy its characteristic nutty, slightly dry profile.

  The result is a soft, balanced brandy that shows just how much character the Jerez tradition can give even a lighter expression.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose offers vanilla, bitter orange marmalade and a touch of dried fruit.

  Palate

  The palate is soft and balanced, with a fine combination of dryness and sweetness, where nuts, spices and toasted oak unfold on the tongue.

  Finish

  The finish is long, smooth and nutty, with a warming close.

  Did You Know?

  Did you know that Airen is one of the world's most widely planted white grape varieties, grown mainly in the Spanish region of La Mancha? Together with Palomino Fino, the classic grape of the Jerez triangle, it forms the base spirit behind this brandy.

  Lustau Centenario Murillo Pedro Ximénez Sherry 50 cl 17%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278444

  The Pedro Ximenez grapes for this sherry are sun-dried on mats outside the bodega until they resemble raisins - that is the secret behind the intense sweetness that defines the style.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Centenario Murillo is a Pedro Ximenez Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from the Pedro Ximenez grape with an alcohol content of 17%. Bodegas Lustau was founded in 1896 by Jose Ruiz-Berdejo as an almacenista, a stockholder who sold sherry on to the large export houses, and has developed its own brands since 1945. Centenario Murillo is a sweet sherry style, where the grapes are sun-dried before pressing and fermentation, significantly concentrating the sugar content. The sherry is carried by a fine acidity that keeps the sweetness from becoming overwhelming.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense on the nose, with raisins, dried fig and a hint of molasses.

  Palate

  Sweet and full-bodied on the palate, supported by a fine acidity that keeps it balanced.

  Finish

  The finish is long and stickily sweet, with a last hint of caramel.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 12-14°C in a small sherry glass. Enjoy with light, sweet desserts or bold, mature cheeses.

  Lustau Don Nuno Oloroso Sherry 75 cl 20%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278446

  Oloroso means "fragrant" in Spanish, and few sherry styles live up to the name better than Don Nuno - an oxidatively aged sherry allowed to develop for years without the protection of flor.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Oloroso Don Nuno is an Oloroso Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from the Palomino Fino grape with an alcohol content of 20%. Unlike the biologically aged sherry styles such as Manzanilla and Fino, Oloroso is aged oxidatively without protective flor, giving the wine a deeper, more concentrated character and a darker colour. Don Nuno is aged at Bodegas Lustau using the classic solera system, where the Palomino Fino grape - which the vast majority of sherry is made from - develops the complexity that defines a well-developed Oloroso over years in cask.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Inviting on the nose, with bitter chocolate and hazelnuts.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and complex on the palate, with a beautiful deep golden colour hinting at the long ageing.

  Finish

  The finish is long and concentrated, with a last nutty tone.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 14-16°C in a sherry glass. Enjoy as an aperitif or with mild and bold cheeses.

  Lustau East India Solers Cream Sherry 50 cl 20%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279868

  The name East India comes from an era when sherry casks were shipped to India and back - a long sea voyage that inadvertently gave the wine extra maturation and a deeper character, which bodegas have since tried to recreate on purpose.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau East India Solera Cream is a Cream Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from Palomino Fino and Pedro Ximenez with an alcohol content of 20%. The style honours the historic practice where, in the 1700s and 1800s, sherry casks were sent by ship to the East Indies and back, exposing the wine to temperature swings that accelerated its maturation. East India Solera Cream is aged today according to the same philosophy at Bodegas Lustau, where a blend of Palomino Fino and Pedro Ximenez gives a creamy, elegant sherry with notably more depth than a regular Cream Sherry.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Full of nuts, raisins and a character reminiscent of creme brulee on the nose.

  Palate

  Creamy and elegant on the palate with a light sweetness.

  Finish

  The finish is soft and lingering.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 12-14°C in a sherry glass. Enjoy as an aperitif or with aged cheeses and desserts.

  Did You Know?

  The East India Sherry style arose because 18th-century trading ships discovered that sherry casks which had crossed the equator several times on long sea voyages tasted markedly better upon return than the casks that had stayed in Jerez.

  Lustau Emilin Moscatel Jerez Xeres Sherry 75 cl 17%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279866

  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.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Inviting on the nose, with sweet notes dominated by caramel and raisins.

  Palate

  Sweet and floral on the palate with a full structure.

  Finish

  The finish is long and stickily sweet.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 12-14°C in a small sherry glass. Enjoy with dessert and bold cheeses.

  Moscatel sherry is far rarer than Pedro Ximenez in the Jerez area, because the Moscatel grape has historically had a smaller planted area in the region compared to Palomino Fino and PX.

  Lustau Fino En Rama de Jerez 2024 Spring Release Sherry Jerez Spanien 50 cl 15%

  Item no.: 2222-55789

  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.

  Lustau Fino En Rama El Puerto 2024 Spring Release Sherry Jerez Spain 50 cl 15%

  Item no.: 2222-55791

  El Puerto de Santa María is the third town of the sherry triangle - less famous than Jerez and Sanlúcar, but with its own microclimate that gives the flor yeast yet another expression to work with.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Fino En Rama El Puerto 2024 Spring Release is a Sherry from El Puerto de Santa María, Spain made from the Palomino grape, bottled at 15% ABV.

  El Puerto sits on the coast between Jerez and Cádiz, and the town's humid but slightly warmer climate than Sanlúcar gives a Fino with more body and weight than its coastal sibling, while still keeping the sharp, dry character from the flor ageing. As part of Lustau's annual En Rama series, the sherry is bottled straight from the cask without fining or filtration.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sharp and yeasty, with almond, green apple and a hint of sea air.

  Palate

  Dry and full, with more body than a typical Fino from Jerez.

  Finish

  Medium length, clean and crisp.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve well chilled at 7-9°C in a sherry glass. Pairs with tapas, almonds, ham, shellfish and oily fish like mackerel.

  Lustau Manzanilla En Rama Sanlucar 2024 Spring Release Sherry Jerez Spanien 50 cl 15%

  Item no.: 2222-55790

  Sanlúcar de Barrameda sits where the river Guadalquivir meets the Atlantic, and the humid sea air gives the flor layer here particularly good conditions. The result is Manzanilla - Fino's saltier, more floral cousin.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Manzanilla En Rama Sanlúcar 2024 Spring Release is a Sherry from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain made from the Palomino grape, bottled at 15% ABV.

  Manzanilla is a Fino matured specifically in the coastal town of Sanlúcar, where the high humidity from the Atlantic makes the flor layer grow especially thick. That gives a more delicate, saline style than Fino from Jerez. As part of Lustau's annual En Rama series, this sherry is bottled straight from the cask without fining or filtration, when the flor layer is at its thickest in spring.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Delicate and floral, with notes of salted almonds and camomile.

  Palate

  Light and saline, with a fresh, almost sea-air character.

  Finish

  Short and clean, with a touch of salt lingering.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve well chilled at 7-9°C in a sherry glass. Manzanilla is made for shellfish, especially prawns and oysters, as well as tapas and salted almonds.

  Lustau Palo Cortado Peninsula Jerez Xeres Sherry 75 cl 19%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279864

  Palo Cortado is sherry's riddle - a style no one sets out to make deliberately, but which arises when a cask's development takes an unexpected turn during ageing.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Palo Cortado Peninsula is a Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from the Palomino Fino grape with an alcohol content of 19%. Palo Cortado historically arises by chance, when a cask-aged sherry intended to become Amontillado loses its flor earlier than expected and develops in a more oxidative direction. The result combines Amontillado's aromatic finesse with Oloroso's rich, concentrated finish. Peninsula has been awarded double gold at international sherry competitions, underscoring the quality of this particular edition from Bodegas Lustau.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Wonderfully complex on the nose, true to Amontillado's finesse.

  Palate

  Intense and dry on the palate, with notes of chocolate and coffee beans.

  Finish

  The finish is long and rich, in keeping with Oloroso's character.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 14-16°C in a sherry glass. Enjoy as an aperitif or with mature cheeses and mixed nuts.

  Lustau Papirusa Manzanilla Sherry 75 cl 15%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278449

  Papirusa is Lustau's entry ticket to the Manzanilla style - a super-dry, light sherry that proves Sanlucar's sea climate and flor yeast do more for a wine than most other factors combined.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Manzanilla Papirusa is a Manzanilla Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from the Palomino Fino grape with an alcohol content of 15%. Manzanilla is aged exclusively in Sanlucar de Barrameda under a protective flor yeast film, which prevents oxidation and gives the wine its sharp, salt-tinged character. Papirusa is Bodegas Lustau's entry-level Manzanilla, designed as an accessible introduction to the style without compromising on the authenticity that defines a genuine Sanlucar sherry.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Lovely sherry notes of almonds and yeasty bread on the nose.

  Palate

  Super-dry, light and fresh on the palate.

  Finish

  The finish is short and clean, with a last touch of salt.

  Serve chilled at 7-9°C in a small sherry glass. Enjoy as an aperitif, preferably with tapas or shellfish.

  Lustau Rare Cream Solera Superior Sherry 75 cl 20%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278447

  Cream sherry is the style that has historically introduced the most new drinkers to the world of sherry - a soft, accessible blend where Oloroso's fullness meets a pleasant sweetness.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Rare Cream Solera Superior is a Cream Sherry from Jerez, Spain, with an alcohol content of 20%. The sherry is based on the Palomino Fino grape, which the vast majority of sherry is made from, and achieves its creamy character by blending an oxidatively aged Oloroso base with a sweeter component, typically from Pedro Ximenez. The designation Solera Superior refers to a higher quality tier within the solera system, where the sherry has had longer to mature and develop complexity.

  Lustau San Emilio Pedro Ximenez Sherry 75 cl 17%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278448

  Some sherries are made to accompany a dessert. San Emilio is made to be the dessert.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau San Emilio is a Pedro Ximenez Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from the Pedro Ximenez grape with an alcohol content of 17%. Like the house's other PX sherries, the grapes are sun-dried before pressing and fermentation, concentrating the sugar content to a level that makes the wine almost syrupy. San Emilio is aged at Bodegas Lustau using the solera system, developing a deep, dark colour and an intense dried fruit aroma during ageing, making it one of the house's most dessert-like sherries.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Inviting notes of sweet raisins and prunes on the nose.

  Palate

  Lovely creamy, rich and very sweet on the palate.

  Finish

  The finish is long and sticky, with a last note of dark syrup.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 12-14°C in a small sherry glass. Enjoy on its own or as a dessert in itself, perhaps poured over vanilla ice cream.

  Lustau Solera Gran Reserva Brandy de Jerez Solera Reserva Spanish Brandy 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227855-693

  In Jerez de la Frontera, rows of old sherry casks are stacked one above the other, each cask a little older than the next. It is here, in the traditional solera system, that Lustau lets its brandy grow deeper year by year, cask by cask.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Solera Gran Reserva is a Spanish Brandy de Jerez, matured in former sherry casks through the traditional solera system, bottled at 40%.

  The house's history dates back to 1896, when José Ruiz-Berdejo, a court secretary in Jerez, began growing vines in his spare time on the family estate Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza. His daughter María Ruiz-Berdejo and her husband Emilio Lustau Ortega later carried the business forward and developed it further, with Emilio focusing seriously on export and quality. Today Bodegas Lustau is one of the most respected names within Brandy de Jerez, based in Jerez de la Frontera.

  Gran Reserva is the deepest and most concentrated expression in the house's brandy range. Through the classic criaderas y solera system, the brandy is gradually moved through rows of casks that previously held sherry, giving it a marked aromatic complexity and a depth that takes time to build.

  In the glass, the brandy is dark mahogany with a warm, amber glow — a visual promise of the depth waiting in the next sip.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is rich and layered, with dried fruit, vanilla and toasted oak, carried by a subtle sweetness from the sherry casks.

  Palate

  The palate is concentrated and silky with real depth: raisins, figs, burnt sugar and toffee, supported by pronounced oak that gives structure and length.

  Finish

  The finish is long, warm and harmonious, with a last trace of nuts and spice.

  Did You Know?

  Did you know that the word solera comes from the Spanish suelo, meaning floor or ground? The name refers to the lowest and oldest row of casks in the system, from which the brandy is finally drawn, while new spirit is continuously added to the top rows and slowly blends downward over the years.

  Lustau Vinagre de Jerez Reserva Sherry Vinegar Jerez Spain 37.5 cl

  Item no.: 222-19727

  Lustau is among the most respected names in Jerez, and the same care the house puts into its sherry carries through into this vinegar. It's sherry wine that's been allowed to mature further - from drink to a concentrated, aromatic seasoning.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Vinagre de Jerez Reserva is a Sherry Vinegar from Jerez, Spain, made from sherry wine matured in the solera system.

  The vinegar develops further from the aged sherry wine into a concentrated, aromatic vinegar with real depth - far beyond ordinary table vinegar. It clearly carries the imprint of the Oloroso and Amontillado styles, and the natural sweetness from the slow, oxidative ageing gives warmth and balance, while a nutty undertone makes it both powerful and harmonious.

  Tasting Notes

  Aroma

  Full and rounded, with notes of dried fruit, nuts, oak and a lightly caramelised acidity.

  Taste

  Rich and soft, with a wine-like tang and a nutty undertone.

  Finish

  Warm and lingering, with a balance between sweetness and acidity.

  Using It in the Kitchen
