Toro Albalá is a prestigious winery in the Montilla-Moriles region of Andalusia, Spain, known for its exceptional sweet wines, particularly Pedro Ximénez (PX) wines. With a rich history dating back to the late 19th century, the winery employs traditional methods to produce high-quality dessert wines. Their PX wines are made from sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes, resulting in concentrated sugars and complex flavors of raisins, chocolate, coffee, and caramel. Toro Albalá offers a diverse range of PX styles, including young and aged variations, with extended aging options. These award-winning wines are highly esteemed for their intensity, longevity, and ability to complement desserts.
Rating : RP 94 points from Wine Advocate “This is a wine that was sold some time ago, but some of it remains in the market (I bought some bottles!), so I opted for including it here just for reference. I'm talking about the 1971 Amontillado Viejísimo, a single-vintage Amontillado with strong balsamic aromas, varnish, tar, hazelnuts, some roasted, charred notes and slight chemical aromas; the roasted, charred notes develop more with time. The palate has some sweetness that makes it round and approachable before the slightly bittersweet finish.” - Tasted on Dec 30, 2014 by Luis Gutiérrez
