A commemorative edition of 2,500 gift boxes containing three unique oenological gems. An inimitable collection allowing you to delve into the very history of Lustau. Lustau is the only winery in the D.O. Jerez- Xérès-Sherry to have a presence in the three cities of the sherry triangle, two on the coast and one in the interior, allowing it to offer a greater diversity of characteristics across its broad collection of wines. Today, Lustau’s philosophy continues in the same vein as when it started in 1896: to offer the most select and diverse range of sherry specialities. Manzanilla Pasada Papirusa. Sanlúcar de Barrameda. 8 years old on average Manzanilla Papirusa’s older brother. Four large butts (bocoys) were set aside for four years so that the veil of flor – the layer of yeast that forms on the top of the wine – continued to consume wine nutrients until almost dying out completely, through the greater surface area in contact with the wine and the static ageing process. This allowed it to oxidise slightly. A mature, evocative and irresistible Manzanilla. Amontillado Solera del Castillo. El Puerto de Santa María. 30 years old on average Extracted from the silence of the winery in the imposing Castillo de San Marcos, a 13th century fortress, constructed under the orders of King Alfonso X the Wise. Selected from a selection of 20 butts in an inverted solera, where the wines first undergo biological ageing for four years, followed by oxidative ageing over more than 25 years, 17 of which it lies untouched by man. This has a marked effect on the personality of this wine, making it intense, powerful, extremely complex and full of nuanced flavours. Vintage Sherry Añada 1996. Jerez de la Frontera 25 years of aging. A sweet wine made exclusively by Lustau that is completely different and unique among all sherry wines. Resulting from the 1996 vintage in which the Palomino grapes were allowed to mature on the vine for longer than usual (late harvest.) It was then kept for over 25 years in centuries old sealed butts that had previously contained oloroso wines. No other wines like this have ever been seen before.
