Description
The "Miut" by Toro Albala is a new project that explores the potential of Pedro Ximenez grapes made into dry wines. The aim is to reveal the unique character of each terroir, a sense of place for each wine from its respective vineyard within the Montilla-Moriles appellation.
Tasting Notes
What a surprise! The PX grape on a whole new dimension. Pale with golden reflections. On the nose, freshness, citrus notes, peach and almonds with memories of freshly cut aromatic herbs. Dry and fresh on the palate, voluptuous, with a pleasant persistence and an aftertaste of pastries.
Winemaking
Fermentation in 500 L French oak barrels (85%) and fermentation in terracotta amphora (15%). Aged on lees with batonnage for 10 months.
Serving Tips
Serve chilled and enjoy with tapas, olives, seafood, fried or grilled fish, Iberian sausages, fried almonds and Manchego cheese.

Toro Albalá has also joined the club to produce white wines. The 2020 MIUT El Jabonero, where MIUT stands for "Mino, Identidad, Uva y Tierra," the Spanish for "care, identity, grape and land" wants to show the land through a dry white wine from Pedro Ximénez grapes from the Cerro Macho mountain, the highest elevation in the zone. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in 500-liter oak barrels and a small part in 500-liter tinajas with lees for 11 months. It's very clean, with complexity and elegance, not exotic or showy, with a somewhat shy nose of white fruit, flowers and some spice, with very light oaking and very integrated, and a balanced and tasty palate that reflects the limestone soils. It's ripe at 14.5% alcohol, dense and round, with good acidity and balance.
