Lustau VORS Pedro Ximinez 30 years old

Lustau VORS Pedro Ximinez 30 years old

This superb Pedro Ximénez comes from one cask selected from a Solera of six set aside as a family reserve in the 1930s. The Council of the Denomination of Origin has endorsed it with the category VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry), more than 30 years of ageing.

Opaque dark mahogany in colour, with an amber rim. This wine is reminiscent of figs, dates, raisins and licorice on the nose. Spectacular flavour and density, but not at all cloying. Its light acidity leaves the palate clean. Very long aftertaste.

Strong blue cheeses, dark chocolate, rich desserts or simply poured on bourbon vanilla ice cream. Perfect sweet digestif.

Dark mahogany in colour, with a suggestion of amber, this wine has a bouquet which reminds us of figs, dates, raisins and liquorice but avoids any sense of excessive sweetness. Its light acidity leaves a sense of clealiness on the palate. Its recommended serving temperature is 14/15°C and it is the perfect accompaniment to strong blue cheeses, puddings or a simple vanilla ice-cream. It provides an unforgettable combination and is also the perfect after dinner digestive.

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.
