Oloroso Viejo, Marques de Poley, Toro Albala (50 cl)

  • Provenance: Andalousia
  • Appellation: Montilla-Moriles
  • Domain: Toro Albala
  • Grape variety(ies): Pedro ximenez
  • Style of wine: Vin initiatique
  • Alcohol degree: 17%
Admirable nose of roasted hazelnuts, walnuts and tobacco leaves, enhanced by a very slightly "piquant" character due to its fortification, drawing on caramel and marine notes. Round on the palate with a pleasant aftertaste and a good integration of the alcohol, it presents a perfect balance between dry and semi-dry wine. Cocoa and chocolate finish, reminiscent of its ageing in old barrels ; J. Suckling : 90/100

Oenology

This oloroso is the result of at least 15 years of oxidative aging in American oak barrels. It is a wine without the influence of the veil.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Perfect with tapas (ham and Iberian pork products, black olives, hard cheeses) or even with game (feathered or venison).

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.
