A little bit of history about Lustau Moscatel Emilin...

The winery to which Lustau Moscatel Emilín belongs was founded in 1896 by Don José Ruiz-Berdejo. At the beginning, Don José cultivated the vines in his own estate Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza, and in the house of the estate he aged the wines that he later exported.

It was in 1931 when he moved to Jerez de la Frontera with his daughter María Ruiz-Berdejo Alberti after the latter acquired a winery in Callejón de Asta. Later, in the 1940's, María's husband, Don Emilio Lustau Ortega, moved the winery to the old town of Jerez de la Frontera, to some buildings where he slowly expanded his business.

From the 80s onwards and under the direction of Rafael Balao, the company became one of the most innovative in Jerez de la Frontera, among other things because it introduced a new elegant and exclusive bottle that distinguished Lustau from the rest of the wineries in the town.
