To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Bodegas Toro Albalá, our wine buyer has put together a pack containing four fabulous wines from this multi awarded shipper that is exclusive to Vintage Wine and Port.
Small amounts of characterful dry, old, vintage-dated Amontillados and extremely old, vintage-dated sweet Pedro Ximénez are consistently released by Toro Albalá from the Montilla-Moriles appellation in eastern Spain. With the best and oldest vineyard holdings in Montilla, Toro Albalá is one of the premier producers of Pedro Ximenez today. As the first Montilla producer to bottle dessert-style Pedro Ximénez (in 1970), Toro Albalá is still the only expert in 100% vintage Pedro Ximénez.

Featuring:
POLEY CREAM 10 Years
A generous wine with a unique and surprising character. Produced from the mix of our Don PX and aged Oloroso soleras, using Pedro Ximénez grapes only. It’s put to an oxidative ageing for 10 years.
TASTING NOTES
Sight: Dark mahogany, slow movement in glass.
Aroma: Very intense. Pedro Ximénez’s distinctive aromas such as honey, caramel and raisined plums blend together. A citric orange peel touch comes along with the Oloroso oxidative aromas like toasted, toffee, smoked and spices smells.
Taste: Sweet and fresh entry. A round wine where the acidity and sweetness are perfectly balanced. A pleasant and highly aromatic pass.
POLEY FINO PASADO 15 Year Old
This wine is obtained after 15 years of biological ageing through the criaderas and solera system. In the last years, the veil of flor begins to weaken. Then, the oxidative ageing begins, which makes it rich in complexity and elegance.
TASTING NOTES
Sight: Old gold with copper and greenish reflections.
Aroma: Intense and piercing aroma. The biological ageing smells such as almond and yeasts, merge together with hazelnut and toasted aromas from the oxidative ageing.
Taste: Dry and enveloping entry, mineral and saline sensations. A complex and elegant wine.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Perfect to taste with tapas, Iberian hams and mature cheeses. It’s also ideal for pairing with rice and meat dishes.
POLEY OLOROSO 15 Year Old
Produced exclusively with Pedro Ximénez grapes. Elegant, with an intense old wood aroma and other noble aromas, well-balanced, aged in a 15 years long oxidative Criadera and Solera system. Awarded with the Gold Mundus Vini medal.
TASTING NOTES
Sight: Mahogany with old gold borders and slow legs.
Aroma: Highlights of and intense old American oak wood, together with toffee, smoked, vanilla and caramelised nuts aromas. Ripe fruits as accompaniment.
Taste: Dry, soft, non-astringent, and a well-defined saline sensation. Wood appears as an elegant bitterness that makes it complex and persistent.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Ideal for meat in sauce, stews, vegetables such as artichoke and asparagus. Furthermore, it can be paired with cheeses, nuts or on its own.
Don PX 2002
After harvesting the grapes in mid-August, they are put to sunning, laying the grapes out under the sun in baskets for a period of between 7 and 9 days, requiring almost three kilos of grapes to obtain one liter of wine. Once pressed, the wine is alcoholized up to 9% vol. and remains in a stainless-steel tank for 12 months. After this time, it is alcoholized up to 17% vol. and put into American oak boots in oxidative ageing for 20 years.
Don PX are our signature. Each one of them is taken care of with exclusivity, from the harvest to the raisining, obtaining a unique personality.
TASTING NOTES
Sight: Dark mahogany colour, with nice movement in the glass.
Aroma: Coffee, dark chocolate, raisined fruit, grapes,plums, dried apricots, hints of cinnamon, a little balsamic and a citric, orange sensation.
Taste: Sweet entry, perfectly balanced with citric acidity, of great persistence.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Excellent with dark chocolate, blue cheese, desserts and exotic fruits
