Papirusa Manzanilla de Lustau D.O.P. Sanlúcar de Barrameda, 75 cl.

Papirusa is a classic and highly appreciated manzanilla, produced by Bodegas Lustau, one of the most prestigious wineries in the Jerez region. This wine is a faithful reflection of the essence of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a place where the special microclimate, influenced by the Atlantic Ocean breeze, creates the perfect conditions for aging under a veil of flor.

Main Features

• Type of wine: Manzanilla (generous dry).

• Denomination of Origin: PDO Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

• Grapes: 100% Palomino Fino.

• Aging: Papirusa is aged biologically, which means that it ages under a layer of yeast called velo de flor. This veil protects it from contact with the air and gives it its characteristic saline and sharp flavor and unique aromas.

• Color: Pale straw yellow, almost transparent, with greenish reflections.

Tasting Notes

• Nose (Aroma): Fine, sharp and with a marked saline character. Notes of almonds, bakery, yeast and, above all, a touch of iodine that evokes the sea breeze.

• Palate (Taste): Dry, fresh and light. On the palate it is very saline and sharp, with vibrant acidity and a long, lingering finish, leaving a clean and very refreshing sensation.

Pairing

Its saline and dry profile makes it an ideal aperitif and the perfect companion for Andalusian and seafood cuisine. Splendid with:

• Seafood: Oysters, white shrimps, prawns and all kinds of cooked seafood.

• Pescado frito: The classic Andalusian “pescaíto frito”.

• Ham and sausages: Combines wonderfully with Iberian ham and other sausages.

• Tapas: Olives, salted almonds and pickles.

Service Temperature

To fully enjoy its freshness and complexity, it is recommended to serve it very cold, between 6°C and 8°C (43°F and 46°F). It is a wine that should be consumed within a short period of time after opening to maintain its qualities.
