Emilio Lustau S.A. was founded in 1896 by Don José Ruiz-Berdejo. In 1940, his son-in-law Don Emilio Lustau Ortega moved the bodega to the Santiago district, in the old quarter of Jerez, in buildings which formed a part of the ancient Moorish city wall. The Lustau Solera Reserva range was created from the original Lustau stocks from its beginnings as an almacenista. These stocks were joined by a fine selection of Sherry wines from different almacenistas, consisting of very special wines from small independent wine-producers. Carefully preserving the best of the old traditions Lustau now make some of the very finest & satisfyingly complex Sherry wines available.
