FEATURING BODEGAS YUSTE SHERRY
Since 1991, Sanlúcar de Barrameda almacenista Francisco (Paco) Yuste has pursued his lifelong dream of establishing a top quality Manzanilla bodega. Having rescued venerable, endangered production facilities in Sanlúcar’s Barrio Alto and Barrio Bajo districts, classic Manzanillas, Amontillados and Olorosos are produced and bottled in their natural state.

BODEGAS YUSTE AURORA MANZANILLA
Iconic Manzanilla named for the widow Aurora Ambrosse Lacave, pioneering female sherry executive of the early 20th century. Yuste has skillfully integrated the 19th-C. solera with his own to produce a complex, rounded and saline Manzanilla between 8 and 10 years of age, bottled with minimal treatment to preserve an interplay of seaside freshness and full mid-palate.

BODEGAS YUSTE AURORA AMONTILLADO
An authentic Amontillado produced from fine Manzanilla, dry and deeply golden in color. Clearly reminiscent of its late Manzanilla stages with salt air on the nose.  Aging has rounded the palate naturally, balanced and long with salt brine lingering throughout the impressively clean finish.

BODEGAS YUSTE AURORA OLOROSO
Exceptional dry oloroso, clean and elegant retaining the fresh expression of Palomino grapes grown and aged in close proximity to the sea. Lingering, silky, nutty-salty flavor is clean as a whistle, finesseful as only possible in an oloroso from Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
