Toro Albalá

The Toro Albalá winery began in the heart of Southern Cordoba in 1922, famous for the wine region Montilla-Moriles. Our history begins with the story of a small wine grower José María Toro Albalá who had the great idea of keeping aged wines to create wine treasures destined for the most demanding palates and whose family values still form our philosophy today.

A generational change in the 1960s at the hands of oenologist Antonio Sánchez gave the brand an identity of its own. From then on, its focus was the recovery of the art and tradition of ageing wines and adherence to the old ways of the “crianza” system. The founder’s nephew, the now well-known Antonio Sánchez, brought fresh ideas from his training in France as well as enthusiasm for a project of which he had been part since the age of six.

The legacy of this winemaker, never seen without his sunglasses, is not only the creation of wine masterpieces with a unique style all of their own but also an understanding of viticulture, a taste for works of literature, archaeology and paintings, and the constant aroma of amontillado casks. With consistent quality and a classic taste, his specialities are the very pungent amontillados and unsurpassed sweet Don Pedro Ximénez wines.
