2022 Bodegas Lustau '3 en Rama' Fino de Jerez
Released once per year when cellar master Sergio Martínez, determines the final blend of the very best casks. These biologically aged sherries are drawn straight from the cask and bottled raw and unfiltered. The unique process known as ‘En Rama’.
Timing is key and Bodegas Lustau is uncompromising in its commitment to quality, refusing to bottle En Rama Sherry until it is ready. April is when the flor is at its thickest, following optimal growing conditions during the humid, cool winter months and a sufficiently wet spring.
The lack of fining and filtration keeps the tasting experience authentic and allows you to experience fino Sherry at its absolute freshest and best.
Whilst En Rama Sherry is intended to be enjoyed as fresh as possible, it can be kept for months, the salty delicacy will simply slowly give way to nuttier flavours.
Tasting Note: A classic Jerez, yeasty and nutty on the nose, richer and fruitier than the two coastal En Ramas. There is a lovely floral character this year, reminiscent of pressed flowers and hay. Macadamia and salted almond notes follow on the palate; it is full of roundness and richness with a fresh saline zestiness.
