{"product_id":"solera-del-toro","title":"Solera del Toro","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBodegas Toro Albalá traces its origins to 1844, when the family founded a small bodega in an old mill\u0026nbsp;known as La Noria, at the foot of the Castillo de Aguilar de la Frontera, in the Córdoba province\u0026nbsp;of Andalusia. In 1922, José María Toro Albalá acquired and restored the town’s old electric power\u0026nbsp;station — a vast facility with deep underground cellars made for long ageing — and moved the\u0026nbsp;bodega there. That move marked the founding of the modern house and the philosophy that has\u0026nbsp;defined it ever since: patience. Wines and vinegars left to age for years, sometimes decades, until they\u0026nbsp;become what the house calls enological jewels. The pivotal modern figure is Antonio Sánchez, who\u0026nbsp;took control in the 1960s, embraced the vintage añadas system for Montilla-Moriles wines, and earned\u0026nbsp;Toro Albalá a place among Spain’s hundred Bodegas de Oro. Solera del Toro is drawn from the\u0026nbsp;Bodega de Moriles, where over a thousand oak botas hold a long solera y criaderas fractional system.\u0026nbsp;The base wine is Pedro Ximénez from D.O.P. Montilla-Moriles, grown on the white albariza soils.\u0026nbsp;This is a vinegar of Montilla-Moriles — Toro Albalá’s flagship — not a sherry vinegar from Jerez; the\u0026nbsp;appellation is its own, the wine is its own, and the cellar is its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"zales-and-rego","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57437548511615,"sku":"VN-1503","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/9439\/8847\/files\/solera.png?v=1778234408","url":"https:\/\/www.zalesrego.com\/en\/products\/solera-del-toro","provider":"Zales \u0026 Rego","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
