Winemaker Notes
Pale straw in color. Full of "flor" and diesel-like aromas on the nose, with iodine hints. Light, dry and tangy on the palate with a nutty and lingering aftertaste.

Discreet style putting together power and finesse, with nice long ageing. Long and clean, very refined and distinctive with a long, tangy finish

Wine & Spirits
La Bodega Obregón runs a popular tavern in El Puerto de Santa María, where they serve their own Sherries as well as selections they sell to Lustau for the Almacenista line. This Fino del Puerto is intense in citrus and salty notes, like preserved lemons. Its texture is rustic, yet delightfully fresh, completely enveloping the wine’s intensity.

Wine Spectator
The pungent walnut note up front makes this seem bigger than a fino. Remains brisk and salty overall, offering jicama, dried lemon rind and star fruit notes through the middle and finish. Stays relatively true to type. For fans of more rustic-edged fino.
The origins of The House of Lustau date back to 1896, when Mr. José Ruiz-Berdejo, started cultivating the vines of the family's estate in his spare time. In these humble beginnings he made wines which were then sold to larger sherry producers. This activity was known as being an almacenista.
Lustau has repeatedly been awarded with multiple awards and trophies from around the world. These accolades have been achieved by the products and team, both considered best of the industry. The day-to-day work and the wisdom transmitted from generation to generation of craftsmen, come together in the care of their casks.
More than 125 years of history and expertise combined with their team's passion and dedication shape the character and personality of Lustau wines.
