Don PX Toro de Albalá Cosecha · 2004
The young Pedro Ximenez from Toro Albalá. A young sweet wine, made with the must of raisiny grapes dried out in the sun, obtained by means of a hydraulic press, with partial fermentation and the subsequent addition of an amount of top quality wine alcohol. A young fortified wine, without oak ageing, sweet, generously rich and offering plenty of sensations, high density; it rests for a minimum of 12 months in stainless steel tanks and is bottled unfiltered, which means that sediment may occur over time.

About the vineyard[+]
The Montilla-Moriles Denomination of Origin is located in the south of the province of Cordoba and, although its wines can sometimes be confused with those of Jerez, because they are also made using the traditional system of soleras and criaderas, they are quite different. They are very aromatic wines, with a velvety texture and a hazelnut background, characterised by the fact that they are made mainly from Pedro Ximénez grapes, a grape rich in sugars. There are three basic types of Montilla wine: young fruity, crianza and fortified. Depending on the ripeness of the grapes, there are finos, amontillados and oloroso. Originally from the area we find the sweet Pedro Ximénez, made from this grape variety, which is becoming increasingly popular. The climate is Mediterranean with a certain continental character, although not very marked, as it is dry and semi-arid. Summers are long, hot and dry. Winters are short and cold.
