Description
 
Emilio Lustau, S.A. is one of the most exclusive bodegas around today in Jerez de la Frontera. It was founded in 1896 as a wine storage facility for the Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza (Our Lady of Hope) vineyards, on the outskirts of Jerez. Lustau owns over 200 hectares of vineyards, most of which are typically Jerez white albariza soils, and suit the main sherry grape, palomino. The limestone-based soils are able to absorb rain during the wet winters, and then release the moisture to the scorched wine during the hot summers. Closer to the coast, Lustau’s vineyard soils are sandier, and much better suited to the grapes used to make its sweeter wines, pedro ximénez and moscatel.

The NV Manzanilla Papirusa from Sanlucar de Barrameda has an intense straw color with a smoky nose of roasted nuts. The palate is dry and light, with clean, pungent flavors, showing finesse and good length. Lustau is doing a good job to improve their Manzanillas, working with a good almacenista in Sanlucar. Drink 2013-2014. Wine Advocate 90
