Lustau Amontillado del Castillo Almacenista Sherry (50cl)
Bodegas Emilio Lustau has a well-deserved reputation as one of the finest producers of sherry. In 2025 this was recognised at the International Wine Challenge, when it won the Trophy for Spain’s Most Awarded Winery (for the third time) after winning four other Trophies at that competition. Later that year Sergio Martínez, their Cellar master, was awarded Best Fortified Winemaker in the World for the seventh time.
Bodegas Emilio Lustau was founded in 1896 when José Ruiz Berdejo first planted vines at his family estate. Initially he sold his wines to larger sherry houses. His daughter, María, continued her father’s legacy, marrying a gentleman named Emilio Lustau Ortega, who moved operations into the historic centre of Jerez de la Frontera.
Today they are renowned for their magnificent sherries right across the range – from intense, mineral-fresh Finos to the great aged Almacenistas and their innovative Vermut blends.
Amontillado del Castillo Almacenista is a magnificent, rich, complex blend of 38 casks that have been aged in the temperate Lustau cellars for 18 years. Cellar Master Sergio Martínez carefully blends them to make this mesmerising sherry with its aromas of praline, orange zest and smoky wood. Its silky palate leads to a nutty richness, with hints of spice and a great salty tang on the finish keeping everything beautifully in balance. Sip slowly on its own, or enjoy with salted almonds, smoked meats, strong cheeses or even Asian cuisine.
