Located in Montilla-Moriles, Toro Albalá is widely regarded as one of the greatest producers in Spain, and♉ stands alone as a specialist in single vintage, cask aged Pedro Ximénez wines. Founded in 1844, Toro Albalá has an impressive cellar of highly rated wines spanning current releases back to pre-War era wines from the 1930’s and before.


Toro Albalá’s “Convento Selección” designation is reserved for wines that have aged for generations in am🍒ontillado buttsꦅ. Held back for decades and offered in very small quantities, these wines present a unique opportunity to experience a piece of history. Offered as a set of six distinct vintages, only 51 of these specialty cases have been released.


1910 Ginés Liébana – Only 1461 bottles produced

A new offering of theಞ previ🔯ously released 1910 Ginés Liébana Don PX, originally bottled in 2006.

-

1929 Batch “AB-1” – Bottled November 2014, WA 95

“The extreme 1929 Don PX Convento Selección is a thick, dense and unusual, rare sweet beast. It is very dark with a green border, dense, oilyဣ and♌ serious full-bodied palate with the profile of a PX from Jerez.” (LG) WA 95

-

1934 L. Opimio – Only 604 bottles produced

Only a single barrel of thi💃s wine existed, and it is among the rarest gems that has been offered from t♎he cellars of Toro Albalá.

-

1946 Batch “CV” – The firstꦍ sweet wine to ever receive 100 points from Parker, this wine is made from the first harvest after World War II and only just bottled in September of 2011.

“This is an extreme wine, my first descriptor was ultra-mega-super concentrated. It is unbelievably powerful, both in the nose and the palate, full of umami, with sweet cinnamon, Christmas cake, camphor, petrol, lemongrass, Belgian chocolate and butter. Incredibly complex and rich, sweet, balanced and smooth in the palate, it is both very sweet and som꧒ehow salty, and with time it develops a black olive note.” (LG) WA 100

-

1955 Batch “AC-1” – Bottled September 2014, WA 98

“It has a nose and palate of chocolate-covered candied orange, spices, molasses. I'd say the dominant aromas in the nose are dark chocolate. It's very dense, developing notes of very concentrated licorice and balsamic, mint, camphor and evolving notes of pet🐻rol with time. Complex, rare and꧟ unique.” (LG) WA 98

-

1965 Batch “AD-6” - Bottled in 2014,🍸 only 51 bottles releas♎ed, WA 97

“It has a nose of ඣpure curr﷽y, aromas of an Indian restaurant, very balanced, not as sweet as others, in fact it is more bittersweet than sweet, combining the spices with bitter chocolate and with very good acidity that makes it relatively easy to drink.” (LG) WA 97
