Toro Albalá, Don PX 1994, D.O. Montilla Moriles, sherry, 0.75l

Toro Albalá Don PX 1994 sherry, from the D.O. Montilla Moriles region, is made from the Pedro Ximenéz variety. This is a naturally sweet sherry with a clean, dark amber colour with copper glints. A delicate aroma of ripe and dried fruit, honey and citrus. A full and velvety flavour with good structure, caramel notes and a long dried-fruit finish. Toro Albalá Don PX 1994 is made in the traditional way using the soleras system. Casks of American oak are stacked on top of one another. At the bottom are the casks with the oldest sherry, at the top the youngest, and the wine is gradually transferred downwards. Toro Albalá Don PX 1994 thus ages for more than 20 years. It pairs perfectly with Iberian ham, mature cheeses, nuts and sausages. We recommend serving at a temperature of 10-12°C. The Montilla-Moriles region covers a production area in the province of Córdoba in Andalusia. Emphasis is placed on quality, and the maximum yield is set between 60 hl and 80 hl. Vineyard elevation in the region of origin ranges between 125 and 600 metres above sea level. This region is characterised by distinctive white soils rich in calcium carbonate: the surface and subsoil consist of soft soil that is poor in organic matter and not very fertile. The climate is essential - long, hot, dry summers and short winters.
