Toro Albala Don PX 2023 (375ml)
$65.00
Deep amber with coppery highlights. Raisins and figs lead, layered with honey and dried date, lifted by a touch of muscatel and the racy acidity that keeps this from ever turning cloying. Unctuous and concentrated, with a savoury, vegetal edge on the finish—the house signature of balance over sheer weight. 100% hand-harvested Pedro Ximénez, sun-dried on straw mats before pressing; 17% abv.
Toro Albalá is the world’s foremost name in Pedro Ximénez—based in Aguilar de la Frontera, DO Montilla-Moriles, and the first producer to commercialise bottled dessert-style PX back in 1970. Old bush-vine fruit off chalky albariza soils, married to decades of winemaking discipline, is what gives their PX its trademark lift alongside the richness. A natural with chocolate desserts, salty blue cheese, or figs—equally good by the glass chilled as it is at room temperature.
Pedro Ximénez’ affinity with chocolate-based desserts is well known. Perhaps less well-known is how well the wines pair with salty blue cheeses. This is particularly the case with Toro Albalá’s younger vintage wines. This can also match well with fig-based desserts and sweet pastries. It can be kept opened in the fridge forever by the way, which makes it perfect for pouring by the glass or keeping. The Don PX has also become popular as a cocktail mixer due to its depth of flavour and superb price point.
