Lustau East India Solera is a distinctive Sherry that masterfully combines the richness of Pedro Ximénez with the character of Oloroso. Sourced from the renowned Jerez region in Spain, this Sherry benefits from the solera aging process, involving the gradual blending of older wine with newer wine in a series of barrels. Uniquely, East India Solera is aged for an additional period under higher humidity and temperature conditions, reminiscent of the sea journeys that historic Sherries would undertake. The result is a highly awarded wine, notable for its depth and complexity, with accolades from various international wine competitions. Lustau’s history dates back to 1896, and their dedication to tradition and quality is evident in this luxurious and multifaceted Sherry.
