Lustau, Peninsula Palo Cortado Sherry

Bodegas Lustau, founded in 1896 by José Ruiz-Berdejo as an almacenista operation, maintains a historic presence in the heart of Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The wine is made from 100% Palomino grapes grown in the region's classic albariza soil, known for its moisture-retention properties. It displays a light amber color in the glass and offers distinct, grounded notes of roasted hazelnuts, dried fruit, and a hint of mocha with a smooth, rounded texture. As a non-vintage selection, this sherry relies on a consistent solera system to maintain its characteristic oxidative depth and precise structure. This bottle provides a reliable and accessible look at a rare style, making it a sound choice for those looking to enjoy a complex, balanced sherry tonight.
