About Bodegas Toro Albalá:
The tale of Bodegas Toro Albalá begins in 1844. The Toro Albalá Family founded a small wine cellar to serve their customers' house wine in the family tavern. After a few generations in 1922, José María Toro Albalá made an investment and bought the town's power plant and turned it into a wine cellar to make the family wine more than just a strong liquid. In the year 1922 Bodegas Toro Albalá was born. In the 1970s Antonio Sánchez took a different and new approach to winemaking. He turned his homeland, Andalusia’s unique grape variety, the Pedro Ximénez of Montilla Moriles, into a piece of art and put the Bodegas Toro Albalá on the Word map of fine wines. Bodegas Toro Albala is known for the beautiful quality wine they produce, they also serve equally beautiful varieties of vinegar as well. In Madrid, we had the opportunity to taste the Bodegas Toro Albalá vinegar and it was love at first sight. So, we brought it back home to share with you.
ElOlivo Review:
Exceptional quality Balsamic Sherry Vinegar from Toro Albalá. It comes with the beautiful aromas of grape, fig, raisin, and oak wood. Tasting this vinegar is a culinary experience, just beautiful. It is sweet and harmonious. Firstly, the sweetness comes followed by the taste of grapes and raisins. We almost felt all the ripening stages of the grape. It comes with 8 º acidity, which makes this vinegar harmonious and balanced. It is perfect for dressing salads, and accompanying meat or cheese platters. Mix it with some premium olive oil for dipping. This vinegar is also perfect for marinating any veg or meat dishes. Heartily recommended.
