Toro de Albalá, Don P.X. Selección 1968, D.O. Montilla Moriles, sherry, 0.75l

This delicious, dense wine pairs wonderfully with blue cheeses or foie gras. We recommend serving at a temperature of 12-14 °C. It has been awarded numerous accolades, and the world-renowned wine expert Robert Parker gave it 94 points. The wine comes from the Montilla-Moriles region, a cousin of the better-known Jerez region. It may be less well known to the general public, but both regions have a great winemaking tradition, producing wines of similar quality using similar methods. The Montilla-Moriles region is typified by the Pedro Ximénez variety, which is used to make both dry and sweet wines. Wines here age in American oak barrels using the "soleras y criaderas" system. The Toro Albalá company was born in 1922 in the heart of the Córdoba countryside. Its history was begun by a small farmer, José María Toro Albalá, who came up with the brilliant idea of ageing old wines to create winemaking gems that would satisfy the most discerning palates. Later generations continued his work and passion, and so, through careful craftsmanship and love for the trade, first-class wines are created that are served in the best restaurants in the world.
