The Lustau East India Solera NV is a richly complex and beautifully balanced Cream Sherry from Jerez, inspired by the historic wines once transported on long voyages to the East Indies. Crafted from a blend of aged Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherries, it reveals deep aromas of raisin, fig and burnt orange peel layered with maple syrup, toffee, mocha, roasted nuts and warming spice.
On the palate is luscious yet remarkably fresh, balancing rich sweetness with vibrant acidity and savoury nuttiness that carry through a long, smooth and unforgettable finish. The style is opulent, silky and deeply expressive, offering incredible depth without becoming cloying.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best-value premium sweet Sherries for customers who enjoy complex dessert wines or fortified styles like Madeira and Port. It’s incredibly versatile — equally enjoyable with desserts, blue cheese or simply on its own after dinner. Perfect with sticky date pudding, chocolate desserts, aged cheeses or roasted nuts. Best served slightly chilled and enjoyed now.
