Founded in 1896 Lustau has been a standard bearer for Sherry for more than a century. For more than the last few decades it has been applying a boutique concept to its winemaking building up a selection of some thirty wines from its own Soleras and others chosen from the stocks of the small Almacenista producers independent Sherry artisans. These are aged in all three of the cities of the Sherry area: Jerez de la Frontera El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Now Lustau has taken this quality approach a step further releasing two Finos and a Manzanilla all En Rama. “En Rama” means “from the branch” the idea being that this is Sherry in its rawest and most natural form straight from the barrel with no filtering or fining. For us this is the finest way to drink Sherry.
Lustau’s Fino El Puerto En Rama Sherry Spring 2021 Release was matured in the coastal town of El Puerto de Santa María. The consistently mild weather here is perfect for maintaining the yeast growth (known as ‘flor’) that gives Fino its distinctive flavour. Having spent five years ageing beneath the flor in American oak casks it is bottled without filtering fining or treatment of any kind.
Intensely yellow with flecks of gold it’s almost as if it has captured the sunshine. On the nose Fino El Puerto En Rama is like a breeze off the Atlantic bringing with it notes of roasted almonds hay and citrus. Bone dry on the palate with more briny character and a nutty bitterness in the tail it makes a stunning accompaniment to sashimi tuna tartar Marcona almonds preserved lemon and quinoa salads green olives and anything with capers in it. But we also recommend tasting it side by side with the other two wines in the range just to experience the Sherry terroir or this collection.
