Jerez, november 2021.<\/strong><\/span> Bodegas Lustau is celebrating its 125th anniversary by releasing a Special Edition containing three unique and never before seen wines, as homage to the company’s long-standing heritage in making sherry. <\/em>The history of Bodegas Lustau<\/a> goes back to 1896 when Jos\u00e9 Ruiz Berdejo, court clerk in Jerez de la Frontera, started to make wines from a small vineyard that he owned on the outskirts of the city.\u00a0 He didn’t have his own brand.\u00a0 He sold it to large exporting wineries, making him what is known today as an Almacenista<\/em>.\u00a0 50 years later, his daughter, Mar\u00eda Ruiz-Berdejo, and her son-in-law, Emilio Lustau, moved the winery to the city’s historic centre, expanded the business and created brands including Papirusa<\/a>, Jarana<\/a> and Escuadrilla<\/a>. The company took Emilio Lustau\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

\"Jos\u00e9<\/p>\n

125 years have passed and the quality and personality of the Lustau winery continue to be key, building the image of sherry both within and outside Spanish borders.\u00a0 One of the ten most awarded wineries in the world, it is the only one to have twice received the sought-after International Wine Challenge<\/a> – Lens Evans Trophy<\/em>, which recognises consistency over a long period. Accolades joined by those received by Lustau\u2019s wines year after year, alongside the trophies awarded to its capataz<\/em> or cellar master, Sergio Mart\u00ednez<\/a>, as the Best Fortified Winemaker of the year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Legacy Collection<\/strong><\/h1>\n

To celebrate these 125 years of history, Bodegas Lustau is launching an unprecedented and one-of-a-kind 125th Anniversary Special Edition <\/strong><\/a>in homage to the legacy and expertise of their ancestors in making sherry.\u00a0 A unique selection of three bottles of wines that have never before seen the light of day, having spent years ageing in the cool silence of three of Lustau’s cellars in Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa Mar\u00eda and Sanl\u00facar de Barrameda.<\/p>\n

Lustau is the only winery in the D.O. Jerez- X\u00e9r\u00e8s-Sherry<\/a> to have a presence in the three cities of the sherry triangle, two on the coast and one in the interior, allowing it to offer a greater diversity of characteristics across its broad collection of wines. Today, Lustau’s philosophy continues in the same vein as when it started in 1896: to offer the most select and diverse range of sherry specialities.<\/p>\n
