Collection: Lustau 3 En Rama Pre-release Offer 2024
** Please note this is a pre-release offer. We expect the wines to be ready for shipping in July.
Lustau's “En Rama” involves bottling the wine straight from the cask with no additional treatment. This process usually takes place in spring, when the layer of living yeast, known as “flor” reaches its zenith. Thus, Sherry’s natural character is fully maintained and the resulting wine is one of great personality, influenced by the microclimate of the town in which it is aged.
Three towns, three distinct expressions of Sherry.
The inland climate in the town of Jerez de la Frontera has an important influence in the development of the Finos aged in this area. Its long hot summers and mild wet winters provide a more rounded and fuller style of wine.
The coastal town of El Puerto de Santa María enjoys mild weather all the year round. This has a crucial influence on briny and light Finos aged therein since the “flor” grows in ideal environmental conditions.
Sanlúcar de Barrameda sits between the Atlantic Ocean the estuary of the Guadalquivir River with Atlantic breezes coming off the ocean. Its microclimate impregnates the yeast growing on the surface of the Manzanilla with a rare sea salt character.
