Lustau East India Solera (15 yr aged Cream Sherry)
East India Solera is a sweet aged sherry produced by famous bodega Lustau from a blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez wines.
Dark mahogany in colour with green-amber edge. It offers vibrant notes of maple syrup, brown sugar, shoe polish, raisin and chocolate beer nuts, all very well integrated. On the palate it is smooth and rich at the beginning, full of prune and burned oranges peel flavours. Provocative spicy notes appear just before its nuttiness and terrific acidity cuts through the sweetness. With a truly unforgettable finish.
Each wine (Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez) is matured, separately in its own solera for 12 years. Once blended together, the resulting sherry is returned to a 45-cask solera for a further 3 years ageing. In centuries gone by, casks with sherry were lashed to ships sailing for the Indies and were found to develop an extraordinary smoothness and complexity.
Suggested pastry pairing:
x Basque Burnt Cheesecake
x Gâteau Basque (Dark Cherry & Dark Chocolate)
x Macarons (Speculoos/ Cacao)
Madame Charlie's burnt cheesecake pairing note:
This cream sherry pairs wonderfully with our burnt cheesecake with its caramelised top and added notes of vanilla and espresso. The sherry's notes of burnt sugar, mocca, baked dates, nuts and prunes go very well with the rich flavours and velvety structure of our cheesecake.
The sherry is deep on the nose, complex on the palette and smooth mouth feel. Much lighter than a 100% PX, without loss of its complexity.
A match made in heaven!
