Pedro Ximénez San Emilio - Emilio Lustau

If you give it some air in the wine glass by swirling, this sherry reveals a high viscosity, which shows in strong church windows at the edge of the glass. The nose of this sherry from Andalusia convinces with hints of raisins, dried fruit, prunes and fruit bread. If we trace the aromatics further, whole-nut chocolate, cinnamon and roasted almond are added, aided by the oak influence.

On the tongue, this punchy sherry is characterized by a tremendously melty texture. Due to the balanced fruit acid, the Pedro Ximénez San Emilio flatters the palate with a velvety feel, without lacking juicy liveliness. The finale of this sherry from the wine-growing region of Andalusia, more precisely from Jerez DO, finally convinces with exceptional reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral hints of the sand-dominated soils.
