Lustau's sherries show the variety and complexity of this wine. They have light and dry Finos and Manzanillas, aged under flor yeast. Their Amontillados go through biological and oxidative ageing. Oloroso sherries are rich and full-bodied, aged oxidatively. Palo Cortado combines the qualities of Amontillado and Oloroso. For sweet wine lovers, Lustau makes Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel sherries. These are perfect for desserts.
The company is also known for its Solera Gran Reserva brandy. Made with the traditional solera system, it blends young and old spirits. The brandies age in American oak casks used for sherry. This gives the brandy rich, smooth flavours with notes of dried fruits, spices, and oak. The Solera Gran Reserva range shows Lustau's skill and innovation in spirits.
