Emilio Lustau S.A. was founded in 1896,  today is one of the most well known producers of wines, brandies, vinegars from Jerez.  It offers a wide range of the best quality sherries, the range comprises more than forty wines originating from the three towns which make up the Sherry Triangle: Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María y Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Maintaining its ideas of combining tradition and innovation, has carved out the way to identifying Lustau with quality and prestige.

Tasting Notes:  Dark in colour, with amber shades. It combines the delightful finesse of the amontillado on the nose, with the body of the olorosos on the palate. Dry, with concentrated aromas. Great intensity and acidity, roasted nut character. Crisp finish.

Notes:  Ideal as aperitif, with dry fruits and to accompany grilled tuna, soups and  meats.
