oysters and sushi

After a quick aeration

After overnight cold storage the Chardonnay fruit was whole bunch pressed into French oak puncheons before undergoing full wild yeast fermentation

A bit of raw steak like quality to the nose

Just enough is added to give those delicious scented floral tones before a dry savoury finish

Emilio Lustau Vors Pedro Ximenez 30 years old (Special Reserve Almacenitas) (500) NV gerard-boulay oysters and sushiOpaque dark mahogany in colour with an amber rim. This wine is reminiscent of figs, dates, raisins and liquorice on the nose. Spectacular flavour and density, but not at all cloying. Its light acidity leaves the palate clean. Very long aftertaste. Lustau VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) Pedro Ximnez has its origins in the searching and selecting process that Manuel Lozano, former Cellar Master of Lustau, made among the oldest solera casks of this wine.
