There are many other good sherry houses, and there are both larger and better-selling sherry houses. But – as the competitors also say – it is Lustau’s quality that everyone seeks to make! The company, which was founded in 1896, was acquired in 1990 by the wine company Luis Caballero SA, which brought both a large bag of money and optimally located fields for the production of top sherry. The house’s biggest investment is undoubtedly the purchase of Bodega Los Arcos in 2002. Los Arcos actually consists of six small separate bodegas, so that you can store the individual product types, not only separately, but also in reasonable quantities. It is important to store the individual products separately, as it e.g. are bacteria in the air that give each sherry its individual style. The grapes are de-stemmed and pressed, after which the acidity is adjusted with tartaric acid. The must is fermented in large steel tanks and adjusted up with grape spirit to mulled wine strength (15-15.5%). The wine is placed in large barrels, which are not filled completely, whereby it is constantly in contact with air. Normally the wine would be converted to acetic acid, but under these special conditions a protective film of foam, called flor, forms. After this treatment, the sherry is often included as part of a solera system: 1/6 of a 6-year-old wine is taken and mixed into a 1-year-old wine. Then the corresponding 1/6 of a 5-year-old wine goes in and supplements the 6-year-old cask and so on with a 4-year-old, 3-year-old and 2-year-old. This causes the young wines to take on the character of an old wine more quickly. In recent years, Lustau has won many awards for its quality, not least the title of “Best Spanish Bodega”. Many of the prizes have gone to Lustau’s own wines, but some have also gone to the house’s famous almacenista sherries. Small, individual winegrowers sell their, often very nuanced, wine to Lustau. Where all other sherry houses blend the almacenistas’ wine in-house, Lustau is the only house that allows the almacenista wines to be bottled separately. Regardless of which Lustau sherry you choose as your first acquaintance, there is no doubt for a moment why Lustau is the leading star of the area and a “trend setter” in the rest of the world.
