General Information
Lustau Solera Familiar Fino del Puerto is a wine aged under a layer of flor for 5 years in the cellars that Lustau owns in the town of El Puerto de Santa María. The strategic location of these cellars, in the center of the town, offers the perfect conditions for aging fine wines in barrels.
The Solera Familiar Collection is a nod to the small winemakers of El Marco de Jerez and the origin of Lustau. For decades, this winery has selected exceptional wines produced by small local producers to bottle them just as they are extracted from their original soleras.
Lustau Solera Familiar Fino del Puerto (D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry) is a perfect wine to enjoy during an aperitif, as it pairs with any type of tapa, cheese, cold cuts, ham, or even simple almonds.
Bodegas Lustau is the only winery that produces wines in the three municipalities that form El Triángulo de Jerez (Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María, and Sanlúcar de Barrameda). One of the most awarded and internationally recognized wineries, with an extensive portfolio that allows visitors to take a complete tour through the history and types of Jerez wines.

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.
