Lustau East India Solera cl50
Cream East India<br /><br />Dark mahogany in colour with green-amber edge. It offers vibrant notes of maple syrup, brown sugar, shoe polish, raisin and chocolate beer nuts, all very well integrated. On<br />the palate it is smooth and rich at the beginning, full of prune and burned oranges peel flavours. Provocative spicy notes appear just before its nuttiness and terrific acidity<br />cuts through the sweetness. With a truly unforgettable finish.<br /><br />Each wine (Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez) is matured, separately in its own solera for 12 years. Once blended together, the resulting sherry is returned to a 45-cask solera for<br />a further 3 years ageing. In centuries gone by, casks with sherry were lashed to ships sailing for the Indies and were found to develop an extraordinary smoothness and<br />complexity. Lustau has revived this style of sherry in the East India wine.<br /><br /><br />ALCOHOL: 20 %<br />VERAGE AGE: 15 años<br />PROFILE: Sweet<br />Fresh, mineral and pungent on the nose with almonds and bakery notes. Dry and crisp, yet rich and with a full finish.<br /><br />PAIRINGS:<br />This wine is a perfect companion to light desserts and cakes, but can also be served with creamy cheeses or foie-gras. Try it also on the rocks with a slice of orange,<br />simply delicious.<br /><br />SERVING TEMPERATURE<br />Serve slightly chilled, between 10 - 12ºC<br />
