Toro Albalá
The current owner Antonio Sanchez Romero is an expert in the Pedro Ximénez grape but also in the history of his region. He has a small archeological museum of around 4000 pieces, collected from the vineyards. Antonio is also an oenologist, alchemist and inventor.
Bodegas Toro Albalá is one of the driving forces of the D.O. Montilla-Moriles, the neighbouring region of the D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry. Nowadays the focus is on sweet Pedro Ximénez wines.
