Description

Bodegas Toro Albalá is a family winery with a centennial history. Time, silence, vintage wines that express each harvest’s essence like unique artisanal gems. Nowadays, Antonio Sánchez is the head of the winery, recognized with the best international awards and considered one of the 100 Spanish Gold Wineries.

Miut is a new series of wines that vinification has taken place normally, without the presence of flor with the wines then aged in new oak barrels and partly in clay amphorae with weekly batonnage. A new project that explores the potential of Pedro Ximenez grapes made into dry wines. The aim is to reveal the unique character of each terroir, a sense of place for each wine from its respective vineyard within the Montilla-Moriles appellation.

Winemaking: Fermentation in 500 L French oak barrels (85%) and fermentation in terracotta amphora (15%). Aged on lees with batonnage for 10 months.

Tasting Notes Pale with golden reflections. On the nose, freshness, citrus notes, memories of freshly cut aromatic herbs. Fresh on the palate, voluptuous, with a pleasant persistence and an aftertaste of pastries.

Serving Tips & Storage Serve chilled and enjoy with tapas, olives, seafood, fried or grilled fish, Iberian sausages, fried almonds and Manchego cheese.

***92 Points - Luiz Gutierez for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate***
Toro Albalá has also joined the club to produce white wines. The 2020 MIUT El Jabonero, where MIUT stands for "Mino, Identidad, Uva y Tierra," the Spanish for "care, identity, grape and land" wants to show the land through a dry white wine from Pedro Ximénez grapes from the Cerro Macho mountain, the highest elevation in the zone. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in 500-liter oak barrels and a small part in 500-liter tinajas with lees for 11 months. It's very clean, with complexity and elegance, not exotic or showy, with a somewhat shy nose of white fruit, flowers and some spice, with very light oaking and very integrated, and a balanced and tasty palate that reflects the limestone soils. It's ripe at 14.5% alcohol, dense and round, with good acidity and balance.
