Toro Albalá should need little introduction to our customers. Hugely influential in elevating Pedro Ximénez into the fine wine category, they were the first Montilla estate to begin bottling PX under their own label, were also the first to begin offering vintage-dated PX from their extraordinary library of old vintages, and, as far as we know, are still the only Sherry producer that makes all of their wines, dry and sweet, from Pedro Ximénez. Below we offer the latest arrivals from this remarkable producer (that have arrived with the sold-out back vintages). The shipment includes the ridiculous value 'Solera 1922', Don PX Vintage 2004 (two wonderful sweet wines), and the infinitely complex dry Oloroso En Rama 15-year-old. Founded in 1844 in Aguilar de la Frontera, right in the heart of DO Montilla-Moriles, the Toro Albalá Estate took its modern form in 1922, under José María Toro Albalá and, from 1970, under the guidance of Antonio Sánchez Romero. Following over five decades at the helm, Antonio Sánchez eventually retired in 2022. Today, with the assistance of winemakers Cristina Osuna and Fátima Ceballos, Sánchez's descendants continue his legacy. Farmed on the bleached-white, chalky albariza soils of the region, Toro Albalá's old bush vines and the strong, Cordoban sun combine to produce deep, opaque, sweet wines that balance intense richness with a bright, savoury edge, so the wines, though obviously sweet, never become cloying. They go brilliantly with chocolate- or nut-based desserts, strong cheeses, and ice cream, or simply with coffee or on their own at the end of the meal. Forget Chartreuse or other digestifs! Offer your clients a glass of Toro Albalá at the end of the meal, and they will thank you forever!
