General Information
Lustau Oloroso Pata de Gallina J. García Jarana belongs to the renowned collection of almacenista wines from Bodegas Lustau. A collection created as a tribute to the small independent producers who craft these wines, whom Lustau honors by placing their name on the label. Lustau Oloroso Pata de Gallina J. García Jarana is aged in an old winery located in the historic center of Jerez and has an average solera age of 15 years. An exclusive and limited wine, with only 38 casks filled.
The term “pata de gallina” is used for olorosos that, due to their characteristics, often resemble a Palo Cortado, being the most delicate and unctuous wines in their category.
The intensity of this wine, part of the D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry , makes it ideal for pairing with red meats, game, stews, and roasts. It is also suitable for dessert, alongside a cheese board.
Bodegas Lustau is one of the leading names in the production of wines within the “Jerez Triangle,” which includes the municipalities of Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. Founded in 1896, it is currently one of the most important wineries internationally in the production of the entire range of Jerez wines.
Tasting notes
It has a bright old gold color to the eye.
On the nose, aromas of dried fruits and pipe tobacco stand out.
On the palate, it is intense and concentrated, with rich nuances that can only be found in the soleras of the oldest olorosos.
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.
