Manuel Lozano
During the #winelover trip to Jerez we had a great visit on 10th February and we were very privileged to have Manuel Lozano lead us round the Lustau Bodega explaining the mysteries of sherry. He had been unwell and it wasn't certain that he would be present – but he was. It is very sad to learn that Manuel died last Tuesday 26th April.
Statement from Lustau:
'It is with profound sadness that we announce Manuel Lozano, Head
Winemaker and Chief Enologist of Bodega Lustau Sherries and Brandies
died on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 after suffering from complications
following a recent medical procedure. He was 61.
Recognized among the world’s great winemakers, Manuel’s passion,
commitment, expertise and success leave an unforgettable legacy.
Since joining Bodega Lustau in 1999, Manuel took pride in continuing
the traditions of his predecessors to dedicate his whole life to Sherry
wines.
“It has been an honor and privilege to work with and learn from this
exceptional man” stated Myrna Santos Mayor, North American Director for
Lustau. “On behalf of the entire team at Bodegas Lustau and the Luis
Caballero Group we wish to express our sincere appreciation for your
outpouring of affection and kind condolences extended to us during this
difficult time.”
