Tasting Notes:
The Lustau 125th Anniversary pack showcases three remarkable sherry styles, each with its own distinct character and heritage:
-
Manzanilla Pasada Papirusa (8 years old): A mature and evocative Manzanilla, showcasing a refined balance between oxidative complexity and the delicate flor influence. The wine is rich and layered, with the subtlety of sea breeze and a touch of almond nuttiness, creating a beautifully persistent finish.
-
Amontillado Solera del Castillo (30 years old): Deep and intense, this sherry offers an explosion of complex flavours. The ageing process in the historic Castillo de San Marcos lends it a rich, powerful profile, with notes of toasted nuts, dried fruits, and a lingering savoury finish that highlights its exceptional depth.
-
Vintage Sherry Añada 1996 (25 years old): A completely unique offering, this sweet sherry is the result of a late harvest, where Palomino grapes were allowed to ripen fully before being aged for over 25 years in old oloroso butts. The result is a wine of rare complexity, with rich toffee and fig notes, underpinned by an intriguing, slightly earthy finish.
This gift pack is an unrivalled experience in sherry, with each wine telling its own fascinating story.
