Lustau "Emilin" Moscatel Half Bottle

Lustau "Emilin" Moscatel Half Bottle

The Moscatel grapes, cultivated in the Las Cruces vineyard are laid out in the sun until they become raisins. Fermentation is arrested early, in order to keep the natural sugar of the grapes.

It has a dark mahogany colour, with a green-yellow rim. Intense citrus and floral aromas. Soft and sweet on the palate, it is reminiscent of honey, citrus and spices. Very sweet and long on the palate, but with a balance of natural acidity.

A good match for fruit salads, egg based desserts (créme brulée) and for orange sorbet.

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.
