Lustau | VORS 30 Year Old Palo Cortado Sherry (Half Litre)

Deep but bright amber. Such nuance and tangy complexity with salted almonds, pecan nuts, caramel, Brazil nuts, sourdough, orange peel and saffron. This is so rich and tangy with real concentration on the palate. Extremely concentrated, silky and nutty. Long and bright finish, lasting for minutes.

Reviews:

• Decanter: It's searingly dry on the palate but ranges far and wide, too, vivid with acidity and filling the mouth with vapoury aromas which constitute almost as much of the 'flavour' as do the notes you can detect on the tongue.

• James Suckling: Deep but bright amber. Such nuance and tangy complexity with salted almonds, pecan nuts, caramel, Brazil nuts, sourdough, orange peel and saffron. This is so rich and tangy with real concentration on the palate. Extremely concentrated, silky and nutty. Long and bright finish, lasting for minutes.

Producer Information

Lustau is a famous Sherry producer in Andalucia and is arguably the most recognized fortified wine producer in the world. It was was founded in 1896 by José Ruiz-Berdejo as an almacenista, which also grew its own vines. Almacenistas generally bought young wine (Ruiz made his own) and matured them in their own soleras, before selling them to larger houses, who would either blend it with older wine, or mature it longer in their larger soleras. It wasn't until the 1950s that Ruiz's son-in-law Emilio Lustau Ortega began bottling and exporting his own wine. Now based in Jerez, Lustau is the only winery that has sites in all three cities of the Sherry triangle: Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Lustau buys fruit from vineyards, while also maintaining two of its own. The first is the Montegilillo vineyard, which is on the white limestone albariza soil local to the region. The second is the Las Cruces vineyard, which is on sandy coastal soils. Lustau now produces a range of Sherry, but achieves the most recognition for its Almacenista collection. Continuing the tradition, the collection is series of single offerings from smaller producers that Lustau bottles and distributes. The style of the local producer is maintained and their name is featured on the bottle.
