Product description
The origins of Emilio Lustau SA date back to 1896, when the president of the district court, José Ruiz-Berdejo, began cultivating vines on the family estate of Nuestra Señora Esperanza.
He sold his wines to local sherry producers. In the 1940s, his daughter and son-in-law moved the company to the historic part of Jerez de la Frontera and within a few years entered the market with their own wine range. In 1990, Lustau SA merged with another family company, Luis Caballero, and is the leading sherry producer in the Luis Caballero Group. It has three wineries in three cities in the so-called "sherry triangle" - Jerez de la Frontera, Puerto de Santa Maria and Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
Lustau Oloroso 30 VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) is another masterful creation of the master Manuel Lozano. The VORS appellation is subject to strict regulations, the permitted single release cannot exceed 1000 half-liter bottles. Lustau Oloroso VORS is produced from the Palomino grape using the solera method. In this case, the solera consisted of nine barrels.
To quote the producer, Lustau Oloroso 30 VORS has the color of old gold with a slight shade of brown and aromas of nougat, dried apricots and plums; very intense in taste, marron glacé (candied chestnuts) and old brandy; long and full finish. We serve at a temperature of 13-14ºC.
