The wine
Made using 100% Palomino grapes, Lustau Manzanilla Papirusa ages under a veil of yeast, known as the ‘yeast flower’, in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, with a damp micro-climate and the sea breeze around the mouth of the River Guadalquivir. The word Papirusa means beautiful and elegant, and it was the name of the doll Emilio Lustau gave to the daughter of Joaquín Burgos, the first manager of the Bodegas Lustau winery, back in the 1940s.

It displays a bright yellow colour with golden glints. Aromas of chamomile, sea breeze and green apples delight the nose, with notes of hay and fennel in the background. After a few minutes, smoky tones appear, reminiscent of roasted nuts and the gentle notes of yeast flower.
