Description
The history of this Pedro Ximénez San Emilio stems from Bodegas Lustau' s commitment to authenticity. In the heart of Jerez, this century-old winery -founded in 1896- decided to recover old soleras of Pedro Ximénez, a variety that reaches its maximum expression when the grapes become almost sultanas under the scorching Andalusian sun. Sergio Martínez, chief oenologist, decided to pay tribute to the sun and time: late harvest, natural raisining, and an ageing process of more than twelve years under the criaderas and soleras system. Thus is born a wine that is not only sweet, but a liquid condensation of history and landscape. The vines are planted on chalky white soils that reflect the sunlight and concentrate the character of the terroir. In this dry climate, with intense summers and Atlantic winds, a Pedro Ximénez grape with a unique personality is cultivated, whose nobility is elevated thanks to the wisdom of the winery.
Winemaking
After the grapes are harvested, they are left in the sun for several days in "paseras", until they reach an extreme concentration of sugars. Subsequently, they are gently pressed and fermentation begins, which is stopped by fortification with wine alcohol, preserving its natural sweetness. Lustau PX San Emilia then undergoes a long oxidative ageing process in American oak barrels. For at least 12 years, Lustau PX San Emilio slowly transforms in the Lustau cellars, gaining depth, aromatic complexity and that unctuous texture so characteristic of great PX. The traditional method of criaderas and soleras allows for the integration of vintages and a masterful balance between concentration and freshness.
Taste
The first encounter with Lustau PX San Emilia is an explosion of dried and raisined fruits: figs, dates, black plums and sultanas. Then layers of molasses, roasted coffee, bitter cocoa and dark caramel emerge, all wrapped in a dense, almost chewy texture, like a smooth, opulent liqueur. On the nose, Lustau PX San Emilia displays deep aromas of Christmas pudding, burnt sugar, caramelised nuts and warm spices. Despite its extreme sweetness, it maintains a subtle but firm acidity that avoids any hint of heaviness, and keeps it vibrant on the palate. The finish is very long, with echoes of fig bread, noble wood and liquorice. A dessert wine, yes, but also a total sensory experience. Ideal with blue cheeses, foie gras, or simply on its own, in small sips, like a silent rite of pleasure.
