Lustau Del Puerto Fino is crafted from 100% Palomino grapes and aged under flor in the coastal town of El Puerto de Santa María. The humid, sea-breeze environment imparts a unique saline edge to the wine. Aged in American oak casks in a traditional solera system, this Fino is bottled at optimum maturity for freshness and complexity.
Bouquet: The nose is fresh and vibrant with aromas of toasted almonds, green olives, and sea spray. Delicate floral notes and a whisper of chamomile add elegance and lift to the bouquet.
Palate: Bone-dry and beautifully poised, this Fino offers a precise palate of salted almonds, lemon peel, and yeasty bread dough. The sea influence is unmistakable, bringing a fine saline character that lingers. Its light body and vibrant acidity make it immensely refreshing, finishing clean and crisp.
Food Pairing: Perfect as an aperitif with Marcona almonds or Manchego cheese. Try it with fresh seafood, such as oysters or grilled prawns, or serve alongside a tapas spread with jamón, olives, and anchovies.
Cellaring: Best enjoyed young and fresh, ideally within one to two years of purchase. Keep chilled once opened and consume within a week for maximum freshness.
Interesting Fact: El Puerto de Santa María, one of the three towns in the Sherry Triangle, is known for producing Finos with a distinct maritime character thanks to the coastal climate and salty Atlantic breezes.
