Bodegas Lustau

Pedro Ximénez San Emilio Solera Familiar, Bodegas Lustau, 375ml

Jerez, Spain

The sherries of Lustau are iconic and represent the best of the best.   This Pedro Ximenez is one of our favourites.

To make this wine Pedro Ximénez grapes are laid out in the sun after picking until they are practically raisins. After that the fermentation starts slowly and is halted to maintain all the natural sugars.  The resulting wine ages for 12 years in contact with the air in Jerez de la Frontera.

In the glass it has a deep mahogany colour with iodine hues on the rim. The wine’s tears reflect its great density. Aromas of dried fruit (prunes, apricots, figs). The palate is very sweet, velvety and soft whistle being intense and flavoursome, An extremely long finish where sweet and roasted coffee flavours return.

Serve at 10 – 12oC.  Serve with rich desserts, cakes and pastries, or pour over vanilla ice cream. Perfect companion to for strong blue cheeses. Ideal as a digestive.

Description

During the early years, Bodegas Lustau operated as an ‘Almacenista’. The Lustau family began bottling their own sherries and exporting by 1950. In the 1980s they expanded their range and introduced the Almacenista range concept of buying and maturing casks from small bodegas to share excellent quality names and styles with enthusiasts around the world.

In 1990 the winery was bought by the family-owned Louis Caballero group. Bodegas Lustau is considered a world-class benchmark for top-quality wines. Lustau produces all styles of sherry, from Manzanilla through to Pedro Ximénez, as well as special bottlings, single cask, VOS and VORS sherries. The En Rama range, produced from select barrels from each of the three towns, is a highly anticipated release each spring. Lustau has, over the years, won multiple medals and trophies, including ‘Best Spanish Winery’ and ‘Best Sherry Producer’ at the IWSC and the Len Evans Trophy for consistency (won in 2011 and 2016) at the IWC.

Current cellar master Sergio Martínez took charge of the winery’s oenological team in 2016, after more than 14 years’ worth of experience with Lustau. Sergio has been awarded the ‘Best Fortifed Winemaker’ trophy by the International Wine Challenge three years in a row, following in the footsteps of the late Manuel Lozano who had won this award seven times.
