Population: Aguilar de la FronteraGeneral information
Bodegas Toro Albalá was born in the heart of the Cordoba countryside in 1922. Our History is the story of a small farmer, José María Toro Albalá, who had the brilliant idea of storing old wines for the creation of oenological jewels for palates more demanding A philosophy that he knew how to implant in family values and that are still preserved. Considered a feat considering the situation of the time. But, that it has been worth so that the Toro Albalá are in the best tables of all the planet. Fine wines were the most consumed in the 1930s by an Andalusian population who went to the taverns in the neighborhoods and who mostly worked in the primary sector. The setting of the winery was an old power station in the area, which gave play to the jokes of the Andalusians who called that the wine had electricity or was electric, hence the famous name for the fine "Electric" that still conserves to our days Convent Selection. These are old wines from several generations that have been aged in barrels of amontillados so that they have a special and free aging, allowing the wine and wood to merge to achieve spectacular results.Our bottling system is called Convento Selección by the system of the Cistercian monks in which they are classified by a system of their own series. All the elaboration is done by hand, seeking to follow the San Benito Recula Standard, "living from the work of the hands".Tasting Notes Don Px Convento Selección

The deep black fruit, almost always dominated by the plum, accompanied by mineral notes, chocolate, balsamic sensations, form a whole that slowly flows from the depths of the glass to become enormous when it enters the nose that awaits it. In the mouth, the volume is evident, the fruit complexity gently envelops the oral space, noting the abundant and melted tannins. The wine lengthens, marking the memory retro-nasally each time it is breathed. There is a sensation of fruit and freshness that invites you to continue drinking it.Tasting Notes Roda I

Sensation of herbs and leaves in the forest typical of the Atlantic vintages. Wine with nerve, very fresh, airy and enveloping at the same time.

The acquisition of vineyards and plots suitable for growing grapes is Benjamin's passion. Contador Winery has more than fifty plots with different soils, microclimates, orientations, altitudes, varieties and clones, which allow to obtain highly complex wines. Most of the vines are conducted in glass, the pruning method traditionally used in La Rioja. The winegrowers of Bodega Contador leave a single bud per thumb, to limit production and enhance the quality of the grape.The land is tilled an average of six times a year, between pruning and ripening, depending on the circumstances. of each season. The tillage includes various jobs, among which there are some specific to viticulture, such as chopping the vine shoots. The land is fertilized for only a few years, and always with organic matter made by Bodega Contador's own winegrowers from sheep manure. All work in the vineyards is organic, respectful and sincere.Tasting Notes The counter cave
