WINE DESCRIPTION
Toro Albalá Don PX Selección is a lusciously sweet, dessert wine made using the Pedro Ximénez variety. Hailing from the appellation of Montilla-Moriles in southern Spain, this wine is crafted from grapes that have been picked and sun-dried to increase the sugar levels and create dried fruit flavors. The winemaking process involves a fermentation and lengthy aging in oak barrels to concentrate the flavors. The result is a rich and luscious wine that make it a standout choice with a dessert or as a standalone indulgence.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Toro Albalá Don PX Selección presents an alluring deep mahogany hue, inviting you to explore its complexities.On the nose, it unfurls an opulent bouquet of ripe black figs, dried raisins, and dark chocolate, interspersed with nuances of roasted coffee and hints of molasses. Upon tasting, it envelops the palate with a luscious, syrupy texture, showcasing an impressive concentration of sweet, ripe fruit alongside layers of caramel, toffee, and a subtle spice that lingers delightfully. The acidity is beautifully balanced, lending a refreshing lift to the richness, while the finish extends elegantly with notes of dried fruit.
