ABOUT THIS WINE
Lustau Manzanilla de Sanlúcar En Rama is a fortified wine from the Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda DO in Andalusia, Spain. Produced by Bodegas Lustau, it is made from the Palomino Fino grape. The 'En Rama' designation signifies that the wine is bottled with minimal fining and filtration, directly from the cask, offering a raw and authentic expression. This minimal intervention allows for a direct connection to the wine's origins and the unique microclimate of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, which is vital for the development of the flor yeast and the wine's characteristic saline notes.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Lustau Manzanilla de Sanlúcar En Rama is produced from Palomino Fino grapes grown in the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry DO, with aging specifically occurring in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. After initial fermentation of the must in stainless steel tanks, the wine is fortified. It then undergoes a minimum of two years of biological aging under a veil of flor yeast in oak barrels. The 'En Rama' designation means the wine is bottled with very little clarification or filtration, preserving its natural state directly from the cask.
