Description
Toro Albalá Poley Oloroso En Rama 15 Años is a dry Oloroso from a solera approaching a century of use, bottled unfiltered in half-litre format.
In Montilla-Moriles every sherry-style wine, dry ones included, is made from Pedro Ximénez rather than Palomino, and the climate is hot enough that the wines reach their working strength without added spirit. Oloroso is the oxidative style: rather than being protected by a veil of flor, the wine sits in contact with air in cask for years, deepening in colour and building nutty, savoury concentration while slow evaporation reduces the volume. This bottling draws from a solera at Toro Albalá's Aguilar de la Frontera cellars that has been running for close to a hundred years, and the wine averages fifteen years of age. It is unfortified and bottled en rama, straight from cask without filtration, which keeps the texture round and the finish long. At 17 per cent it reads as rich but is almost entirely dry.
Serve at 13-14°C, and finish within a few weeks of opening. It suits almonds, charcuterie, cured tuna and very mature cheese.
