Lustau Puerto Fino DO Sherry/Sherry 75cl

Lustau Fino del Puerto is a fino from the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry appellation of origin, aged in El Puerto de Santa María, a coastal enclave in southern Spain with a marked Atlantic influence. Its aging under a veil of flor in this microclimate gives it a unique character, with a nose that evokes notes of yeast and almond, accompanied by a subtle saline touch. The palate is dry, fresh and vibrant, with balanced acidity and unmistakable persistence. Its pale straw color reflects its purity and delicacy. Best served chilled, it is the ideal accompaniment to seafood, fish and a variety of tapas, as well as sushi and sashimi, highlighting its gastronomic versatility.

The Lustau Puerto Fino is a wine from the prestigious winery Bodegas Lustau, located in the region of Jerez. This Fino is distinguished by its origin in El Puerto de Santa María, one of the three cities that form the “Jerez Triangle” along with Jerez de la Frontera and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The special microclimate of this area, with its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, gives it a unique and different character from the finos of Jerez.

Main Features

• Type of wine: Fino (generous dry).

• Appellation of Origin: D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry.

• Grapes: 100% Palomino Fino.

• Aging: This wine is biologically aged under the veil of flor, a layer of yeasts that protects the wine from contact with the air and gives it its distinctive aromas and flavors. Unlike other finos, it is aged in the cellars of El Puerto de Santa María, where humidity and sea breezes influence the velo de flor, which develops in a thicker and more active way.

• Color: Pale straw yellow, bright and crystalline.

Tasting Notes

• Nose (Aroma): Fine, sharp and with a marked saline character. Notes of raw almonds, bakery, yeast and a touch of salinity and iodine reminiscent of the sea breeze are perceived.

• Palate (Taste): Dry, fresh and very saline. It is light on the palate, with a well-integrated acidity and a long, lingering finish that leaves a clean, refreshing aftertaste.

Pairing

Lustau Puerto Fino is an ideal aperitif and a perfect companion for seafood cuisine. Its saline and refreshing character makes it ideal for:

• Seafood and fish: Shrimp, oysters, prawns, barnacles, fried fish, and sushi.

• Iberian ham and cured meats: The contrast between the salinity of the ham and the wine is exceptional.

• Tapas: Olives, salted almonds, manchego cheese and pickles.

Service Temperature

To appreciate its freshness and complexity, it is recommended to serve it very cold, between 6°C and 8°C (43°F and 46°F). Once opened, it is advisable to consume it within a few days so as not to lose its properties, since the flor veil has disappeared and the wine oxidizes on contact with air.
