The Whisper of the Sea.

Pure, precise and brimming with coastal charm, the Manzanilla Papirusa is Lustau at its most elegant. Pale gold with glints of sunlight, it opens with delicate aromas of chamomile, toasted almond and ocean breeze,  the unmistakable scent of Sanlúcar’s salty air. On the palate, it’s bone dry, feather-light and effortlessly refreshing, with flavours of green olive, lemon peel and a gentle saline tang carried by zesty acidity. The finish is long, graceful and mouth-wateringly clean, leaving a lingering impression of flor and sea spray. This is maritime finesse bottled: bright, briny and endlessly drinkable.

For when: the first oysters hit the table and the sun’s still warm on your glass.
Pairs with: Ibérico ham, anchovies, sushi, or anything that tastes of the sea.

Aged biologically under a veil of flor yeast in the cool, humid bodegas of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, this 100% Palomino Manzanilla captures the essence of its birthplace, the only town where Sherry takes on such a distinctly marine character. The proximity to the Guadalquivir estuary and the Atlantic imbues the wine with its signature salinity and delicate flor-derived complexity.

Bodegas Lustau, founded in 1896, remains one of the great custodians of traditional Sherry craft. Their Papirusa is part of the Solera Familiar range, representing the house style at its most refined: precise ageing, impeccable balance, and an almost ethereal lightness. Serve chilled at 7–9°C and let the sea speak for itself.
