East India Solera Lustau, Jerez

The Lustau East India Solera recreates the effect of barrels of sherry that were used as ballast on ships crossing the oceans in the 17th century voyages.  It was discovered that the barrels which crossed the seas and returned to european ports came back with more complexity and silkiness, and hence this style of fortified wine was born. Technically a cream sherry, the East India Solera is a perfect companion to light desserts and cakes, but can also be served with creamy cheeses or foie-gras.

Barbadillo Fino,Jerez

Palomino

The Barbadillo Finos are more Manzanilla-like in style, but are aged in Bodegas with less exposure to the cooling sea breezes. The flor in the barrels grows vigorously in these cellars so the wine is a little more nutty and toasty than the more appley and yeasty Manzanillas of Sanlucar.

£13.95
