Lustau Almacenista Manzanilla Amontillado, Manuel Cuevas Jurado

Lustau Almacenista Manzanilla Amontillado, Manuel Cuevas Jurado

This dry sherry from Sanlúcar is matured in a small solera of 21 barrels.

Of a dark golden colour, this wine combines the lightness of a Manzanilla with the refinement of the Amontillados.

Caramel aromas in the nose, soft nutty flavours on the palate, with a long and elegant aftertaste.

Excellent with soups, consommés and spiced dishes.

Emilio Lustau, one of Spain's greatest Sherry bodegas, is named after Don Emilio Lustau Ortega, son-in-law of founder Don José Ruiz-Berdejo y Veyan. Don José, of French descent, founded the family firm in 1896 at his home in Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza, but in the 1940s Don Emilio moved the firm to the Santiago district of Jerez. The firm saw significant expansion, and joined the ranks of the top Sherry producers under Don Emilio's name. The family home was never abandoned, though, and in the 1970s extensive cellars were constructed there. Emilio Lustau is now a leader in Sherry production, certainly when judged on quality.
