Bodegas Toro Albal Marques de Poley Oloroso

The Toro Albal winery began in the heart of Southern Cordoba in 1922, which is famous for its wine region Montilla-Moriles. Their history begins with the story of a small wine grower Jos Mara Toro Albal who had the great idea of keeping aged wines to create wine treasures destined for the most demanding palates and whose family values are still founded on this philosophy today.

Toro Albal wines are now to be found on the best tables in the world. Toro Albala winery has received awards in recognition of its constancy in the world of viticulture. Patience bears sweet fruit, something which winemaker and enologist Antonio Snchez knows well, having dedicated all his life to this and for whom the Pedro Ximnez grapes are as if they were his own offspring, grown under the best conditions to ensure sufficient character and to be a part of the most wonderful dinner gatherings.

Grape variety and region: 100%Pedro Ximnez. Bodegas Toro Albal creates wines with 30% of grapes from their own vineyards and 70% coming from partner growers in Montilla-Moriles.

Taste profile:Marques de Poley Oloroso is dry and nutty with a noticeable salinity on the long finish. The nose opens with walnuts and almonds dipped in caramel before evolving to notes of raisins and dark chocolate. The intense and persistent palate tastes like Christmas fruit cake,closing in a dry and cinnamonspicy finish.

Winemaking process: The fruit is made into Oloroso sherry andages over 10 years in a solera system, a method that adds fresh wine to old wine and builds complexity in flavour and aroma.
