{"product_id":"toro-albala-don-px-2023-375ml","title":"Toro Albalá Don PX 2023 375ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eRich, luscious and beautifully balanced, Toro Albalá Don PX 2023 is a classic expression of Pedro Ximénez from the historic Montilla-Moriles appellation of Andalucía. Produced entirely from Pedro Ximénez grapes, the wine begins with fruit harvested in the warm conditions of southern Spain before undergoing the traditional \u003cem\u003easoleo\u003c\/em\u003e process, in which the grapes are laid out under the sun to concentrate their natural sugars. Toro Albalá states that the grapes for its Don PX Cosecha are harvested around mid-August and sun-dried for approximately seven days before pressing. The resulting intensely sweet must is then rested in stainless steel tanks for more than a year, preserving the purity and concentrated fruit character of the Pedro Ximénez grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 release displays the richness expected of the style while retaining the acidity and subtle bitterness that prevent its considerable sweetness from becoming overly heavy. Deep amber in colour with copper-toned highlights, it offers an expressive combination of raisins, figs, honey and caramel alongside a distinctive savoury and vegetal freshness. The palate is silky, concentrated and unctuous, yet fresh acidity brings lift and definition to the wine's generous texture. Notes of liquorice, dried fruit and tropical fruit emerge as it develops, leading into a persistent bittersweet finish. Bottled at 17% alcohol, this 375ml format is particularly well suited to serving in smaller portions as a dessert or after-dinner wine. It can be enjoyed on its own or paired with blue cheese, dark chocolate, ice cream, foie gras, dried fruits and rich pastries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Rich and concentrated\u003cbr\u003eRaisins, dried figs and honey layered with caramel, liquorice and subtle savoury freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Sweet, silky and balanced\u003cbr\u003eConcentrated Pedro Ximénez fruit with raisins, honey and liquorice, lifted by fresh acidity and a gently bitter vegetal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Persistent and balanced\u003cbr\u003eLingering dried fruit, liquorice and bittersweet savoury notes that provide freshness against the wine's rich sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaker – Bodegas Toro Albalá\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Pedro Ximénez\u003cbr\u003eCountry – Spain\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Montilla-Moriles\u003cbr\u003eAppellation – Montilla-Moriles\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2023\u003cbr\u003eSize – 375ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 17%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toro Albala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44223770722391,"sku":"T-ALB-D-PX-23","price":59.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/2a9ee6eb-0a40-4f32-8e8a-a86fd598b975.webp?v=1788392846","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/toro-albala-don-px-2023-375ml","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
