Amontillado, Marques de Poley Solera 35 anos, Toro Albala (50 cl)

  • Provenance: Andalousia
  • Appellation: Montilla-Moriles
  • Domain: Toro Albala
  • Grape variety(ies): Pedro ximenez
  • Style of wine: Vin initiatique
  • Alcohol degree: 21%
To obtain an Amontillado like Viejisimo, the ageing period must be at least 25 years. This one is produced from a Solera started in 1922 and therefore also contains ancestral wines. It has beautiful notes of roasted peach, fine oxidation and a slight caramelisation of the bouquet. Very nice, fat, suave, unctuous, but dry palate. The oxidative character raises the finish, almost honeyed, and gives it staying power. Tasty. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate: 92/100; J. Suckling: 91/100

Domain
The Andalusian vineyards are divided into several appellations, including Montilla-Moriles, which certainly has the oldest vineyards in the region, as it was already prosperous in Roman times. The climate here is continental, very warm, with short winters and low rainfall. The harvest begins in mid-August and is the earliest in Spain. The king grape variety is Pedro Ximenez (PX), which is vinified into dry or sweet wines in oxidative modes, with long to very long maturation. Located in the village of Aguilar de la Frontera, 50 kilometres from Cordoba, the estate was founded in 1844 by Antonio Sánchez Prieto. In 1922, José Toro Albala, who had a passion for both wine and archaeology, restored and moved the winery to the old power station in Aguilar, with its large underground warehouses ideal for storing wine. For almost a century, the winery produced wine to be aged in its cellars, but without bottling it. Things changed at the end of the 20th century with the birth of the first vintages. For some years now, Antonio Sanchez Romero has been at the helm of the winery, creating unique jewels without losing sight of the essence of his estate, the Pedro Ximenez: an extraordinary grape variety. A true romantic character, he is also a great oenologist, with encyclopaedic knowledge and a lively and always inventive personality. His wines reflect this.
