i. Biography
Sergio Mart has been Cellar Master at Bodegas Lustau in Jerez de la Frontera since 2016, and in that same year he also took on the winemaker role at the bodega. Those two posts place the cellar, and the work of turning it into wine, at the center of his record. In a house where time, patience, and precision shape style, Mart’s contribution is measured in consistency: work repeated, assessed, and refined over years rather than announced in sudden turns.
The Path
Since 2016, Sergio Mart has held both winemaker and Cellar Master responsibilities at Bodegas Lustau. The pairing of those roles ties his practice directly to the rhythms of the bodega in Jerez de la Frontera and to the demands of sherry production itself. The line of work is one of continuity, with the same house, the same cellars, and the same pursuit of character in the wine holding the frame.
The Work Today
Since 2016, Mart has held the Cellar Master title at the Jerez de la Frontera house, where the work is shaped by constancy, shared purpose, and attention to detail. He describes the process in collective terms, pointing to the daily discipline that supports the wines and the people behind them. “Thanks to our commitment to quality and the daily work we do at the winery, we have ensured that all our new ranges are awarded gold.” The emphasis stays on repetition, care, and the accumulation of decisions made well.
Signature
Sergio's signature wines include Amontillado Botaina Limited Edition 2025 and PX Murillo Centenario. Together they indicate the range and depth associated with his work at Bodegas Lustau, with each wine reflecting a Cellar Master attentive to expression, structure, and enduring style.

Acclaim
Sergio's honors include Best Fortified Winemaker in the World.
