Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
With a clear character of El Puerto de Santa María reminiscent of low tide, the Spring 2017 bottling (marked on the front label) of the NV 3 en Rama Fino del Puerto also has notes of almonds, yeasts and a saline, iodine touch. The palate is balanced and dry, sharp after five years under flor. Only 1,000 500-milliliter bottles were filled in April 2017.

Description
In the heart of the Jerez triangle, in the luminous coastal town of El Puerto de Santa María, one of the most authentic and naked Finos of the region is born: Lustau 3 En Rama Fino Del Puerto De Santa María. The idea behind this wine stems from a radical decision: to bottle the soul of the velo de flor without filters or make-up. It was the celebrated foreman Manuel Lozano who personally selected the most vivid butts from among more than 300 in the historic Bodega del Drago. An act of oenological bravery that sought to capture, without concessions, the very essence of the maritime environment.
Lustau 3 En Rama Fino Del Puerto De Santa María is made exclusively from Palomino Fino, the region's queen grape, grown on albariza soils that reflect light and retain humidity, like a mineral mirror. Puerto de Santa María, unlike Jerez or Sanlúcar, has a unique character: a cooler, more humid microclimate, with the constant influence of the Atlantic, which lengthens the life of the flower and gives the wine a sharper, saltier profile, marked by the sea breeze.
Winemaking
This Fino, Lustau 3 En Rama Fino Del Puerto De Santa María, is aged for five years in American oak casks under a veil of flor, following the traditional criaderas and solera system. The "saca" is carried out in spring, when the flor is at its most expressive. The uniqueness of the "en rama" process lies in the fact that the wine is bottled without filtering or stabilisation, straight from the cask to the bottle, preserving its lively texture and raw character. Lustau 3 En Rama Fino Del Puerto De Santa María is, therefore, a wine that should be drunk with attention, as each glass encapsulates the real pulse of the bodega and the sea that surrounds it.
Taste
The first visual contact with Lustau 3 En Rama Fino Del Puerto De Santa María shows a pale golden colour with greenish reflections, slightly cloudy, proof of its unclarified bottling. On the nose, it is complex and sharp: live yeast flower, almond shells, green olives, sea salt, dry bread and a subtle smoky touch reminiscent of old wood dampened by the breeze.
On the palate, Lustau 3 En Rama Fino Del Puerto De Santa María is incisive, dry and vibrant. The attack is saline and mineral, with a texture that caresses the tongue like a wave of Atlantic foam. Notes of olive pits, bitter almonds, wilted flowers and a slight hint of elegant hydrocarbon. The finish is long, sapid and deeply umami, with a sharp tension that invites another sip. This is a Fino that does not soften its edge: it speaks clearly, with the flavour of the sea, of time and of the living flower. For purists.
