Tasting note
Light, delicate and very dry.

Producer note: Emilio Lustau
In 1896 What is now Emilio Lustau SA was founded by Don José Ruiz-Berdejo y Veyan, an original Almacenista at Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza. In 1940 Don Emilio Lustau Ortega, his son-in-law, moved the bodegas to the ancient Santiago district and became Emilio Lustau SA in 1950. The 1980s saw the expansion of the company under new management of the late Rafael Balao and in 1990 Luis Caballero SA acquired a major shareholding in Lustau enabling further development and expansion into fine Albariza vineyards at Montegilillo in the Jerez Superior region to the north of Jerez and purchase of the traditional Bodega complex in Calle Arcos allowing Lustau to operate in Jerez from one central site. The company is well known for its support of Almacenistas (a stockholder who buys sherry or must from the farmers and matures it in his/her own bodegas. Almacenistas did not have a licence from the Consejo Regulador for bottling their own sherries. Traditionally these sherries were sent for inclusion in the large commercial blends but it was Lustau who recognised that these sherries all had strong individual merit).
