Producer Information

Bodegas Toro Albal is a wine producer in the Montilla-Moriles region of Andalucia, southern Spain. It was established in 1922 by Jose Mara Toro Albal, but its roots date back to an estate that was founded in 1844 by Albal’s grandfather, Antonio Snchez Prieto. It was the first producer to commercialize Pedro Ximnez as a single variety wine, and now makes a range of high-end wines from the variety. The original bodega and vineyard was situated on slopes near Castillo de Poley, a castle outside of Aguilar de la Frontera. There is rumored to be a remaining cask of the 1844 vintage from this vineyard still cellared today. In 1922, Jose Mara Toro Albal relocated the winery into what had been the first power plant in the Montilla-Moriles region. Jose Mara established the Bodegas Toro Albal name, and focused the winery on the Pedro Ximnez grape that the Montilla-Moriles region is now known for. The power plant continues to thematically inspire labeling with Albal offering a dry fino from Pedro Ximnez that is sometimes sold in bottles that look like lightbulbs. In the 1980s the winery was taken over by its current owner and oenologist, Antonio Snchez Romero. Romero set aside 1200 oak casks for aging vinegar, and also sells Arrope syrup made from Pedro Ximenz, both under Toro Albal’s gourmet selection.
