Distillation and production

Production method

Based on the traditional Marco de Jerez system: criaderas and solera for ageing; biological ageing under a flor veil for wines such as fino/manzanilla and oxidative ageing for amontillado and oloroso. Brandy is obtained from distilled wines (D.O. Brandy de Jerez) and matured in barrels according to the solera system.

Ageing

Criaderas and solera system for wines and brandy; biological ageing under a flor veil for fino/manzanilla style wines; oxidative ageing for amontillado and oloroso. Brandy indicate different ageing durations (e.g. 10, 15, 25 years) and are matured in casks previously seasoned with sherry.

Producer history Lustau

Lustau was established in 1896 by José Ruiz-Berdejo; in subsequent years the family moved production to Jerez (1931) and, under Emilio Lustau Ortega, the bodega began marketing its own wines and brandies under its own labels from 1945. In the 1980s the house expanded its offering introducing ranges such as Solera Familiar and Almacenistas. In 1990 Lustau joined the Luis Caballero Group, receiving investments that enabled expansion and the move (in 2000) to large historic casco bodegueros on Calle Arcos in Jerez. Today Lustau produces Jerez wines, vermouth and brandy and manages soleras across the three Marco de Jerez towns (Jerez, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda).

Production philosophy

Combine tradition and innovation in the production of Jerez wines: preserve local techniques (solera, biological ageing under a flor veil) and showcase small local productions through the Almacenistas labels, offering a diversified range of fortified wines, vermouth and brandy.

Territory

Marco de Jerez region (province of Cádiz), with activities and soleras located across Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

Awards and recognitions

International awards cited by the company: among others, recognitions such as Best Spanish Bodega (2011) and Best Bodega of Jerez (2014, 2016) from international competitions; the Len Evans trophy awarded to the bodega on multiple occasions (information reported by the company).
