Don PX

Bodegas Toro Albalá is one of Spain’s historic and most respected family-owned wineries, founded in 1922 in the heart of the Montilla-Moriles region of Andalusia with roots dating back to an 1844 family estate. It has played a leading role in elevating the region’s wines by specialising in the Pedro Ximénez grape. Under winemaker Antonio Sánchez, Toro Albalá ages its wines in a former power station with vast underground cellars, holding some of Spain’s oldest and most prized stocks, including the internationally acclaimed 100-point Don P.X. Selección 1946.

This Gran Reserva 1999 is an elegant wine, elaborated with Pedro Ximénez grapes harvested in mid-August and laid under the sun for 7 to 9 days to concentrate all their sugars. After the press, it was left to rest for 12 months and, when the period came to an end, it was stored in American oak butts to age for over 20 years. Each one of Don PX is taken care of with exclusivity, from the harvest to the raisining, obtaining a unique personality.

Dark mahogany color and beautiful movement in glass. Raisined fruits (dates, plums, dried peaches) with memories of liquorice, coffee and roasted coffee, and an orange citric sensation. Sweet entry perfectly balanced with the acidity and a light bitter touch, making it fresh despite the old age and sweetness.

It’s excellent with dark chocolate, blue cheeses, desserts, foie gras and exotic fruits.
