Lustau "Peninsula" Palo Cortado Half Bottle

Lustau "Peninsula" Palo Cortado Half Bottle

A dark colour, with amber shades. This wine combines the delightful finesse of the Amontillados on the nose with the body of the Olorosos on the palate.

A most singular sherry, dry, with concentrated aromas; dark chocolate overtones on the palate.

A good match for Japanese tepanyaki and grilled tuna.

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.
