Sensory Description:

Opaque ebony in color with an iodine rim, this wine opens with an intricate bouquet of dried figs, dates, roasted coffee, cocoa, and liquorice. On the palate, it is rich with layers of crème caramel, barley sugar, nutty undertones, and warm Christmas spices. Despite its depth and density, a touch of acidity offers balance, leaving the palate clean and lifted. This is an incredibly luscious yet refined sherry, finishing long and savory.

Today, Lustau is internationally recognized for its innovation, heritage, and exceptional range of solera-aged wines that exemplify the traditions of Jerez.
