The Lustau Dry Oloroso Reserve Don Nuño NV is a benchmark dry Sherry from Jerez, crafted from 100% Palomino and aged oxidatively for around 12 years in the traditional solera system. This extended ageing without flor develops a deeper, more powerful style of Oloroso, emphasizing richness, concentration and complexity while maintaining balance. The nose is intense and aromatic, showing toasted walnut, almond and hazelnut, layered with notes of toffee, dark chocolate and a distinctive smoky wood character.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a round, structured texture balanced by lifted acidity. Flavours of roasted nuts, caramel and dried fruit lead to a long, concentrated and savoury finish with a subtle saline edge. The style is dry, powerful and complex, offering depth without sweetness and a classic expression of aged Oloroso.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers looking to explore deeper, more intense styles of Sherry. It’s ideal for those who enjoy nutty, oxidative wines like Jura or aged Madeira. This is not light or delicate - it’s rich, structured and savoury. Serve slightly chilled. Perfect with roasted meats, game, aged cheeses, mushrooms or as a digestif.
