Tasting Note
Valued for being rare, deep and very sweet, elaborated with 100% Pedro Ximénez raisined grape clusters. The origin of this exceptional wine is the result of Antonio Sánchez’s personal choice and decision over the bottling’s most favourable time. It’s an authentic gem of our winery, distinguished with 100 Robert Parker points, the first sweet wine to receive this recognition.
“Convento Selección” are wines that have aged for generations in amontillado butts so that the wine and wood could merge with time and result into an unmatchable flavour. Our bottling system is called “Convento Selección” in honour to the Cistercian monk system in which the wine is classified in their own series. The entire elaboration is handmade, following San Benito’s Recula Rule: “Living off the work of our hands.”
Colour: Dark mahogany tonality with copper reflections and slow movement in glass.
Aroma: High intensity. Notes of raisining (dates, dried figs and raisins), cinnamon, candied orange, spices like clove and anise, in addition to some other confectionery smells.
Taste: Sweet and dense entry, with mild acidity and alight bitter touch. It’s a round wine, with no rough edges, and of lingering finish.

Bodegas Toro Albalá
The Toro Albalá winery began in the heart of Southern Cordoba in 1922, which is famous for its 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 are still founded on this philosophy today. Toro Albalá wines are now to be found on the best tables in the world. Toro Albala winery has received awards in recognition of its constancy in the world of viticulture. Patience bears sweet fruit, something which winemaker and enologist Antonio Sánchez knows well, having dedicated all his life to this and for whom the Pedro Ximénez grapes are as if they were his own offspring, grown under the best conditions to ensure sufficient character and to be a part of the most wonderful dinner gatherings. The Don P.X. Convento Selección 1946 which was awarded 100 points by wine guru Robert Parker in his magazine Wine Advocate. This was a turning point for the Toro Albalá brand as it was also the first time a sweet wine from Montilla-Moriles had been awarded with 100 points, thus having entered the Olympus of wines. This is a priceless accolade in international and national markets that appreciate a priceless wine. Nurtured with care since 1946, this Don P.X. Convento Selección 1946 comes to our tables today with the flavour of time.
