The latter is crucial for the sweet character. From harvest to raisin production, nothing is left to chance, and the winemaker at Toro Albala keeps a close eye on everything. Perhaps that is precisely the success of this winery. In this case, it results in a sweet and elegant wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The sweet wines of Toro Albala\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Toro Albala winery, named after its founder, was established in 1922 in the Montilla Moriles region. It was the first winery to sell sweet dessert wines. Approximately 30 percent of the grapes come from their own vineyards, with the remaining 70 percent coming from partner growers. The wine cellar, with approximately 6,000 barrels, is located in the underground tunnels. They are experts in the Pedro Ximenex grape, which also plays a key role in the wine.\n\n\n\n The 100% Pedro Ximenex grapes are dried into raisins after harvest to develop their sweet character. The grapes are then gently pressed and rested for at least 12 months. Finally, the wine is transferred to American oak barrels where it ages for an impressive 20 years. This results in an exclusive wine that is more than worth the wait.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Enjoy a balanced sweet sherry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis Convento Seleccion 1980 first appears in the glass with a beautiful dark brown color. The aromas leap out of the glass. Dried grapes, plums, and dates predominate, complemented by sweet notes of cinnamon and biscuit. Lemon and woody aromas also complement the nose. The palate is balanced, pleasantly sweet with a touch of tartness, and it continues into a slightly bitter yet elegant finish. Ideal with a cheese board or a delicious complement to a chocolate dessert.","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775830200399,"sku":"13117","price":274.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/don-px-convento-seleccion-1980_13117.webp?v=1770372416"},{"product_id":"don-px-convento-seleccion-1958","title":"Don PX Convento Seleccion 1958","description":"This exceptional Don PX 1958 has garnered international acclaim and has already won numerous awards. Made from 100 percent dried Pedro Ximenez grapes, the grape variety Toro Albala specializes in, it is the result of a centuries-old tradition: storing at least one barrel of wine made in special years. This wine is aged for extended periods and bottled at precisely the right moment.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Successful Toro Albala wines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Toro Albala family business has a long history, beginning in 1922 with a small-scale winemaker named Jose Maria Toro Albala. Their wines are found in restaurants worldwide, but in the early years, their success was highly doubtful. Toro Albala began producing wines for long-term aging, intending to create more elegant wines. At the time, however, this was a significant risk due to the economic crisis. But courage and passion brought this bold idea to great success. They now specialize in the Pedro Ximenex grape variety.\n\n\n\n To ensure the grapes develop their sweetness, the Pedro Ximenez grapes are sun-dried into raisins. This allows the grapes to acquire their rich sugar content. The grapes are then pressed in the winery and aged for a long time.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The smell and taste of Don PX Convento Seleccion 1958\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThen it's time to enjoy this Sherry wine.
