Description
In the historic heart of Jerez, where the casks breathe the passage of time and the walls guard centuries of aromatic silence, Lustau makes wines that are living testimony to an unrepeatable tradition. Founded in 1896 as a small almacenista, the bodega has known how to grow without betraying its spirit: patience, precision and deep respect for the terroir. Lustau Pedro Ximénez VOS (Very Old Sherry) is born from that philosophy, as an exercise in mastery and waiting. Sourced from Pedro Ximénezgrapes that have been grape-passifiedin the Andalusian sun, this wine is the result of a clear vision: to show the deepest, most sober and majestic side of this sweet variety, without resorting to artifice, only with the passage of time and the wisdom of the criaderas and soleras system.
The vineyards are planted on albariza soils, a white, porous soil that retains moisture and reflects sunlight, favouring slow and complete ripening. The climate is typically warm, with dry summers and Atlantic winds that moderate temperatures, creating the ideal conditions for the cultivation and natural ripening of the grapes.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo the traditional process of " asoleo", where they are laid out on esparto grass to concentrate their sugars as much as possible. What is obtained is not a must, but almost a thick nectar, which ferments partially before being fortified with wine alcohol. The long oxidative ageing of Lustau Pedro Ximénez VOS begins, which lasts for more than 20 years in American oak barrels. Through the dynamic system of criaderas and soleras, the wine ages exposed to oxygen, gaining abysmal complexity. Only a small part of the solera is extracted each year, guaranteeing an almost liturgical continuity.
Taste
On the nose, Lustau Pedro Ximénez VOS is a dark universe: dried figs, molasses, bitter chocolate, roasted coffee, sultanas and candied orange peel. Nothing is immediate; everything is subtle and progressive. On the palate, Lustau Pedro Ximénez VOS displays an enveloping, velvety density, with a natural sweetness that is balanced by an unexpectedly lively acidity. The finish is very long, with echoes of liquorice, gingerbread, noble woods and a saline touch that recalls its Jerez origin. It is not just a sweet wine; it is a meditative experience, ideal to accompany blue cheeses, bitter chocolate desserts or simply to contemplate in solitude, glass in hand, without haste. A liquid monument to patience and know-how.
