There is an exceptional wine tasting taking place on Saturday 26 June. The highlight will be wines going back to 1929. A time when Salvador Dali was alive and painting, The Museum of Modern Art was opened in New York and the pages of Hergés Adventures of Tintin first saw the light. History in a glass.
Cuculo tastings are online via ZOOM and tickets include a sample pack comprising treats from the deli counter, wine tasting notes, sample size bottles – plus access to a live entertaining and informative presentation from Cuculo’s wine expert James MacNay
Join this very special Wine Tour on Saturday 26 June at 18:45.
The history of Toro Albalá begins in 1922, when José María Toro Albalá began making wines as treasures for future generations. José María understood that the sugars and concentration of flavour he was achieving in his harvests would develop beyond his own lifetime.
Now, thanks to his foresight and craftsmanship, and the inherent qualities in his land and vines, we can continue to enjoy these Don PX wines almost a century later.
The tasting includes the following wines (the shelf prices in brackets are for reference):
- Don PX 2018 (£18.95 – 50cl)
- Don PX Gran Reserva 1994 (£23.95 – 50cl)
- Don PX Selección 1976 (£145 – boxed)
- Don PX Convento Selección 1958 (£210 – wooden box)
- Don PX Convento Selección 1929 (£225 – wooden box)
We’ll look at the Montilla-Moriles region, a history of the PX grape, and the Toro Albalá winery, but this Wine Tour is also a journey in time and history – so if you would like to contribute an important historical occasion which took place in any of these vintages, please let us know in advance and we can highlight it as we taste.
