Toro Albala Amontillado Viejismo Solera 1922 (500ml)
Producer Toro Albala
Region, Country Montilla-Moriles, Spain
Bottle Size 500ml
Product Code 17710-500

A textured wine of salty, nutty intensity yet great finesse, this old Amontillado is drawn from a solera laid down in 1922. Like all of Toro Albalá’s wines this is made from 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes. The average age of the wine when bottled is 35 years old (five more than required for VORS in Jerez) and, remarkably, at 21% ABV, the wine has not been fortified. The ripeness of the fruit sugars at picking, then the natural evaporation that occurs with such long aging, account for the natural alcohol level in the wine.

Reviews

“I love the caramelized nuts and dried apricots on the nose. Mouth-filling and rich with a ton of nutty character on the palate, plus some tannins that are covered nicely by the richness.”
91 points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com
“… has a bright orange color and a nose that combines varnish, hazelnut and peach aromas with some iodine and sea breeze aromas. It has a pungent palate, finishing dry and with a pleasant bitter and salty touch.”
