Pedro Ximénez San Emilio Solera Familiar, Bodegas Lustau

Jerez de la Frontera, Andalucía, Spain

Sumptuous, dark and gloriously unctuous, the Pedro Ximénez San Emilio is pure liquid dessert, a wine that redefines indulgence. Ebony in colour with glints of iodine and bronze, it releases heady aromas of figs, raisins, dates and molasses, with hints of coffee and cocoa. On the palate, it’s impossibly rich and velvety with waves of dried fruit and toffee unfurl with remarkable softness and depth. Despite its intensity, the natural acidity keeps everything balanced, leading to a lingering, treacle-smooth finish that seems to go on forever. Luxurious, silky, and deeply comforting, this is PX at its most classic and irresistible.

For when: you want a finale that feels like pure decadence.
Pairs with: blue cheese, chocolate desserts, or poured over vanilla ice cream.
If this wine were a texture, it’d be liquid velvet, smooth, dark and endlessly rich.

Made from 100% Pedro Ximénez, the grapes for San Emilio are hand-harvested and then sun-dried until they become raisins, concentrating their sugars and aromatics. Fermentation begins slowly and is halted to preserve natural sweetness, before the wine spends 12 years ageing oxidatively in the warm cellars of Jerez de la Frontera.

Part of Lustau’s acclaimed Solera Familiar range, this PX represents the pinnacle of sweetness and refinement. Every drop is a tribute to patience and sunlight, the warmth of Andalusia distilled into a wine of extraordinary depth and grace. Serve slightly chilled at 10–12°C and let its silken richness unfold slowly, like a final encore.

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.
