Initially focused on producing sherry wines, Lustau expanded its portfolio over the years to include a range of fortified wines and brandies. The winery is renowned for its commitment to quality and tradition, utilizing the solera system for aging its products. Today, Lustau is recognized globally for its exceptional sherries and brandies, maintaining a balance between innovation and heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eLustau’s Vermut Blanco is crafted by their dedicated team of enologists and cellar masters, who oversee the meticulous blending and infusion processes. The production involves selecting high-quality Fino and Moscatel wines, infusing them with a carefully chosen mix of botanicals, and aging the blend to achieve a harmonious flavor profile.

This climate contributes to the grapes’ balanced sugar and acidity levels, ideal for sherry and vermouth production. The aging process occurs in Jerez de la Frontera, where the microclimate provides the perfect conditions for maturation in sherry-seasoned casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eLustau Vermut Blanco is a blend of two classic Jerez wines: a dry, mineral, and crisp Fino sherry and a sweet and floral Moscatel wine. The blend is infused with a selection of botanicals, including wormwood, chamomile, rosemary, gentian, marjoram, and orange peel. Each botanical is macerated separately before being combined and added to the wine blend. The result is a complex and aromatic vermouth that balances sweetness, bitterness, and herbal notes. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Lustau Vermut Blanco exhibits an intense and bright yellow color with golden reflections.
