Description
In the heart of the Jerez triangle, Lustau has been able to preserve the purest essence of the flor wine. The history of Lustau Fino del Puerto was born from the desire to pay homage to El Puerto de Santa María, that Atlantic city where the saline humidity and the swaying winds create a unique microclimate for biological ageing. Emilia, a pioneer in the bottling of "almacenista" wines, saw in this enclave the opportunity to express a sharper fino, marked by its proximity to the sea. Palomino Fino, the variety that dominates the Marco de Jerez, is grown in albariza soils -white, chalky, and thirsty for sun-, capable of retaining water and giving the wine its characteristic minerality. A brave decision was made to keep the ageing exclusively in El Puerto, despite the logistical difficulties, in order to preserve that distinctive character of more delicate flor and pungent salinity.
Winemaking
Lustau Fino Del Puerto is made exclusively from Palomino grapes, fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. After fortification to 15% vol., the wine begins biological ageing under a veil of flor, which takes place for an average of five years in American oak casks, within the traditional system of criaderas and soleras. This ageing takes place in the Port's cellars, where the constant humidity and the Atlantic breezes modulate the flor, giving it a more ethereal and saline profile than in other areas of the Marco. The wine is bottled without aggressive filtering, preserving its authenticity.
Taste
The first visual contact reveals a fine pale, almost transparent colour, reflecting its purity. On the nose, Lustau Fino Del Puerto displays that classic imprint of raw almonds, sourdough bread, yeast and a marine background that evokes shells and coastal breeze. The sensation is sharp but elegant, with notes of chalk, dried hay, and a subtle citrus nuance - lemon peel, perhaps a touch of green apple. On the palate, the entry is dry, straight, with sharp acidity that cleanses the palate. The flavour is long, with hints of dried fruit, green olive, bread crust and a saline finish that invites the next sip. The texture is light, almost airy, but with tension, support and nerve. Lustau Fino Del Puerto is a fino for purists: here the flower, the soil, the sea are in charge. Ideal as an aperitif with almonds, Iberian ham or seafood, but also as a wine for slow conversation. A pure expression of the coastal terroir of Jerez: subtle, saline, direct. Uncompromising in its authenticity.
