Oloroso Almacenista Pata de Gallina, Bodegas Lustau

Jerez de la Frontera, Andalucía, Spain

Rich, powerful and seductively smooth, the Oloroso Pata de Gallina from Bodegas Lustau’s Almacenista collection is a masterclass in intensity and elegance. Deep gold with copper glints, it opens with aromas of dried figs, walnuts and pipe tobacco, laced with subtle notes of cedar and toffee. The palate is dense and enveloping with concentrated flavours of roasted nuts, dates, and mocha unfold in slow succession, balanced by a gentle sweetness and velvety texture. The finish is long, warming and slightly spicy, lingering with echoes of wood smoke and caramelised fruit. It’s Oloroso at its most opulent; deep, resonant, and endlessly satisfying.

For when: the fire’s glowing and conversation drifts into the night.
Pairs with: venison, partridge, wild boar, or simply a contemplative moment.

Made from 100% Palomino, this wine comes from an exclusive solera of just 38 casks, ageing in the atmospheric bodega El Aljibe in Jerez de la Frontera. The term “Pata de Gallina” (meaning “hen’s foot”) is traditionally reserved for Olorosos of exceptional smoothness and natural richness, wines with elevated levels of glycerol that give a rounder, more luxurious mouthfeel.

Part of Lustau’s Almacenista range, which celebrates the small, independent cellar masters preserving Andalusia’s oldest soleras, this Oloroso epitomises the style’s noble depth. Aged oxidatively for many years, it achieves a perfect balance of concentration, silkiness and spice,  a wine that feels both ancient and alive, crafted for those who appreciate Sherry’s most profound expressions. Serve at 13–14°C and let its warmth unfold slowly.

Regarded as one of the greatest and most respected names in Sherry, Bodegas Lustau stands at the pinnacle of Andalusian winemaking, a benchmark for quality, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Founded in 1896 by José Ruiz-Berdejo, the estate began as a small almacenista (stockholder) ageing and blending wines for larger houses. Over the decades, Lustau evolved from humble beginnings into a global ambassador for fine Sherry, earning acclaim for its meticulous sourcing, blending, and innovation.

Based in Jerez de la Frontera, with additional bodegas in El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Lustau uniquely represents all three of the Sherry Triangle’s towns, allowing the house to showcase the full spectrum of terroir and style: from the saline freshness of Manzanilla to the nutty depth of Amontillado and the velvety opulence of Pedro Ximénez.

Lustau’s defining strength lies in its unparalleled range. The Solera Reserva series highlights traditional, meticulously aged styles; the Almacenista collection honours small independent producers and their individual soleras; and the VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) range offers century-old treasures of staggering complexity and rarity. Every wine undergoes patient maturation under flor or oxidative ageing in centuries-old casks, capturing the delicate balance between time, air, and wood.

Under the guidance of Emilio Lustau’s successors and now as part of the Caballero Group, the bodega continues to set the gold standard for Sherry, combining heritage and innovation with unwavering precision. Today, Lustau is celebrated not only for its technical mastery but for preserving the living soul of Jerez: wines of profound depth, layered aromatics, and timeless Andalusian grace.
