General Information
Lustau Moscatel Emilín is an extraordinarily sweet wine made from the moscatel grapes cultivated in the winery’s vineyard in Chipiona. A terroir with exceptional soil and climate characteristics for growing this variety.
After its production, Moscatel Emilín undergoes barrel aging for 8 years in the cellars of Jerez de la Frontera. Despite its long aging, this moscatel retains a pleasant acidity that balances with the sweetness. The result is a very seductive, full-bodied, and long-lasting wine.
Bodegas Lustau surprises with this Moscatel Emilín. A wine named after the eldest son of Emilio Lustau, belonging to the Solera Familiar category of the winery due to its exceptional quality.
Although Lustau Solera Familiar Moscatel Emilín (D.O. Jerez) can be considered a dessert wine on its own, it pairs perfectly with puff pastries, cookies, and desserts made with fruit or yogurt.

The winery
Winery
The Lustau Fine Selected Wines winery was founded in 1896, and during the last quarter of a century, it has been dedicated to aging, producing, and marketing high-quality wines, brandies, and vinegars from Jerez. This historic winery in the Jerez region, with a presence in the three areas that make up this region (Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María, and Sanlúcar de Barrameda), has specialized in the Premium segment, positioning itself in the best restaurants and wine shops across the five continents. It has achieved this not only due to the quality of its wines but also thanks to the global recognition garnered in various international competitions. Lustau currently belongs to Grupo Caballero and boasts the widest range of Jerez and Manzanilla wines in its portfolio, producing over forty wines aged in the three cities that form the framework of this Denomination of Origin. To achieve this, it offers different ranges, with highlights including the "Solera Reserva," composed of wines aged directly by Lustau in its cellars, and the "Almacenista," made up of small independent winemakers whose wines are marketed by LUSTAU.
From the moment the grapes are born in their vineyards "Montegilillo" and "Las Cruces" until their wines are bottled, the process is slow and meticulous. In between lies the vinification and the fundamental step, the aging in the cellar using the unique solera and criaderas system. This is what gives Jerez wines their true character and personality and ensures a consistent quality over time.
Lustau distances itself from large sales volumes and mass production, always prioritizing quality above all else. Its commercial activity is predominantly export-oriented, with the North American market standing out above the rest. In recent years, Lustau has made a commitment to the Spanish market, and its wines can now be found in the best wine shops, stores, and wine clubs.
