Lustau Papirusa Sherry 75cl 15°

Brand : Lustau / Country : Spain / Reference: : 24536

Manzanilla Papirusa is a Sherry produced by the Lustau house which has aged in the bodegas of the region of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a small spanish town located on the estuary of the Guadalquivir river.

Located on the Atlantic coast, this vineyard benefits from both the freshness and humidity of the sea, as well as a good sunshine. It thus deploys unique flavours of seawater and salted meadow herbs.

It is a complex, warm and thirst-quenching wine.

Since 1896, the Lustau family has been using their sandy vineyards (or "arenas") for the production of Moscatel. However, only white chalk terroirs make it possible to create an authentic dry and refined sherry wine.


If the best vineyards on "albariza" (chalky soil) are not located at the seaside but rather between 10 and 30 km from the sea, it is the aging in barrels near the ocean that arouses the maritime notes that can be found in some sherries. The best known of all is Manzanilla, a separate appellation for Finos raised in the seaside town of Sanlucar de Barameda. However, the sea aspect is also present in the sherry grown in El Puerto de Santa Maria, very close to the port of Cadiz.


We often hear that the iodized sea air infuses wines while they are in barrels. What gives sherry a little extra is first of all the combination of oxidative aromas with those born during ageing in flor, i.e. the marriage between salty and caramelized notes, for example. In addition, the permanent blend in the barrel structure of the solera gives rise to a union of wines rich in oxidative aromas, with younger and more lively wines. These latter characteristics are generally not found in "classic" oxidative wines.

Nose: dried fruits, apple, iodine.

Palate: marine, woody and toasted notes.

Finish: fine and long.
