Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The spring 2017 bottling of the NV 3 en Rama Manzanilla de Sanlúcar showed some baked apple aromas and balsamic notes that felt a little out of place. There are some smoky notes on the palate too, dry and not as sharp as I was expecting. 1,000 bottles produced.

Description
Since its origins, Lustau has been synonymous with boldness and loyalty to the purest character of the Jerez region. Founded as an almacenista bodega, it knew how to evolve without ever losing its intimate connection with the albariza soil and the Atlantic winds. The 3 En Rama range was born from a rebellious gesture: bottling directly from the butt, without fining or filtering, as if one were drinking in the sacristy itself. It is a declaration of intent: to show the velo de flor in its maximum expression, raw and honest. This Manzanilla de Sanlúcar, made exclusively with Palomino Fino, encapsulates the soul of the Atlantic. Hailing from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where the Guadalquivir River merges with the ocean, the biological ageing is intensified by the constant marine humidity, creating a unique environment for the flor. Here, the wine is not stylised: it is revealed.
Winemaking
After fermentation in steel tanks, Lustau 3 En Rama Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda is transferred to used American oak casks, where it begins its ageing under a veil of flor. The ageing process is biological and lasts around five years in the traditional criaderas and soleras of Sanlúcar Barrameda. The selection for bottling "en rama" is made in spring, when the flor is at its most lively and generous. Lustau 3 En Rama Manzanilla Sanlúcar Barrameda is bottled unfiltered, unstabilised, in its pure state, showing all the textures, nuances and tensions that the flor imprints. It is a living wine, which evolves even once bottled, showing different faces over time.
Taste
The nose of Lustau 3 En Rama Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda is direct and subtly complex: saline aromas of freshly fermented bread dough, raw almonds and dried manzanilla, with notes of green apple, fennel and a slight hint of iodine. The atmosphere is marine, like walking through a fish market at dawn. On the palate, Lustau 3 En Rama Manzanilla Sanlúcar Barrameda is sharp, with a tension that electrifies. Dry and sharp, with a vibrant acidity that cleanses the palate like a receding wave. Citrus notes are perceived - lemon, grapefruit peel - and a marked chalky minerality that adds depth. The aftertaste leaves a saline, subtly bitter persistence, with echoes of dried fruits, camomile flower and bakery. It is a wine that does not seek to please everyone: it demands attention and rewards those who listen.
Lustau 3 En Rama Manzanilla Sanlúcar Barrameda is not a tamed manzanilla, it is a sea creature, wild and refined at the same time. A wine for purists, perfect to accompany oysters, mojama, or simply a glass by the sea, with the easterly wind brushing against the skin.
