Lustau“Papirusa”ManzanillaSherry–HalfBottle

Lustau’s standard Manzanilla: light and very dry

A balanced nose with aromas which point to a slightly higher age (as the golden colour already indicates). Walnut husks, chamomile and meaty hints of bacon fat. Candied orange peel. Quite a soft yeastiness. Cashew nuts, almonds and a hint of green banana. The palate shows a saline side, more almonds and apples than coastal flavours, marzipan. Evolves towards briny and herbal notes, with a very light zesty bitterness and tangy olive juice in the finish.

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Manzanilla Papirusa is part of the Solera Reserve range from Bodegas Lustau. These wines come from old soleras mostly founded or acquired from 1900 until the 1930s. It is produced for Lustau by Bodegas Cuevas Jurado, which also provides wines for Lustau’s Almacenista range. At the time of bottling it is said to be around 4,5 years old.

Delicate and refreshingly acid with a lingering aftertaste. Papirusa means “elegant and beautiful”. It was the name of the doll that Emilio Lustau gave the daughter of Joaquín Burgos, first manager of Bodegas Lustau in the ’40s.”
