Moscatel Emilín Solera Familiar, Bodegas Lustau, 375ml
Seductive, perfumed and utterly captivating, the Moscatel Emilín is a luscious expression of one of Sherry’s most aromatic grapes. Deep mahogany with a glint of iodine at the rim, it opens with soaring aromas of orange blossom, honey, and candied citrus peel, intertwined with notes of fig, raisin, and warm spice. The palate is rich and velvety with waves of dried fruit, toffee and sweet spice unfold over a lively backbone of acidity that keeps the wine perfectly balanced. The finish is long, floral and gently zesty, leaving a lingering echo of caramelised orange and sun-dried fruit. It’s indulgent yet graceful, the taste of Spanish sunlight in a glass.
For when: the evening needs something golden to end on.
Pairs with: citrus tarts, crème brûlée, or spiced fruitcake.
If this wine were a scent, it’d be orange blossom carried on warm sea air.
Made from 100% Moscatel grown in Lustau’s Las Cruces vineyard near Chipiona, this dessert Sherry is aged for eight years in Jerez de la Frontera, allowing the variety’s natural perfume and sweetness to evolve into richness and depth. The grapes, sun-dried before pressing, concentrate their sugars and aromatics, producing a wine that balances opulence with freshness.
Part of Lustau’s Solera Familiar range, the Moscatel Emilín is one of the most expressive examples of its kind, a dessert wine of true finesse and harmony. Serve slightly chilled at 10–12°C to let its floral brightness and golden sweetness shine in perfect equilibrium.
