Aged following biological aging, under a veil of yeast called “flor” in the cool, humid, salty air of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a fishing town on the estuary of the Guadalquivir river. Papirusa means “elegant and beautiful”. It was the name of the doll that Emilio Lustau gave the daughter of Joaquín Burgos, the first manager of Bodegas Lustau in the ’40s.

Appearance: Bright yellow colour with golden reflections.

Nose: This Manzanilla is laced with sea breeze scents and pleasant chamomile and flor aromas. 

Taste: Bone dry and light, fresh and crisp, with a hint of sea salt on the palate. 

Finish: Delicate and refreshingly acid with a lingering aftertaste.

Food pairings: A perfect dry aperitif, but also great with fresh seafood, oysters, and fish dishes.

About the producer: Bodegas Lustau is considered a world-class benchmark for top-quality wines. Lustau produces all styles of sherry, from Manzanilla through to Pedro Ximénez, as well as special bottlings, single cask, Vos, and Vors sherries.
