The Toro Albalá Poley Oloroso En Rama 15 Años NV is an exceptional aged fortified wine from Montilla-Moriles, crafted by one of Spain’s most respected bodegas. Produced from 100% Pedro Ximénez and aged oxidatively for an average of 15 years in traditional American oak casks, it is bottled en rama with minimal filtration to preserve its richness, texture and complexity. Presented in a 500ml bottle, this Oloroso offers remarkable depth while showcasing the distinctive elegance and freshness of the Montilla-Moriles region.
The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing toasted walnuts, hazelnuts and dried figs layered with orange peel, tobacco leaf, leather and warming spice. The palate is rich, dry and beautifully textured, with flavours of roasted nuts, toffee, caramelised citrus and subtle coffee supported by vibrant acidity and remarkable concentration. Complex and harmonious, it finishes exceptionally long with savoury rancio notes, gentle spice and lingering nutty richness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb aged Oloroso that shines as both an aperitif and an after-dinner wine. Pair it with Jamón Ibérico, aged Manchego, roasted nuts, mushroom dishes, slow-braised meats or hard cheeses. Serve lightly chilled or at cool cellar temperature. Drinking beautifully now, it will remain in excellent condition for many weeks after opening when stored in a cool place.
