Manuel Lozano wins
Best Fortified Wine Maker award - again
The International Wine Challenge in London has awarded the
accolade to Lustau’s winemaking chief for a second time. He is responsible for
all the Emilio Lustau wines and the ex Domecq wines such as La Ina and Rio
Viejo. The award was presented at what is known as the wine “Oscars”, at which
the wines themselves won 20 medals and 3 trophies.
Robert Parker has already awarded 90 points or more to 8
Lustau wines, 96 to the Palo Cortado Peninsula. Spain’s Guia Penin awarded 9
wines 90 points or more with La Ina and Papirusa getting 96 and 94
respectively. It is wonderful to see Jerez getting such recognition.
Rain arrives
After a drought ridden year, the rain has finally arrived to refill reservoirs and raise the water table. Up to 4 times the average monthly precipitation has fallen in 1 day, some 75l/m2 ! Andalucia is suffering torrential rainfall, which of course just runs over the parched land. What is really needed is lighter but sustained rain which will be more easily absorbed.
