The Wine Advocate:

Toro Albalá has also joined the club to produce white wines. The 2020 MIUT El Jabonero, where MIUT stands for "Mino, Identidad, Uva y Tierra," the Spanish for "care, identity, grape and land" wants to show the land through a dry white wine from Pedro Ximénez grapes from the Cerro Macho mountain, the highest elevation in the zone. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in 500-liter oak barrels and a small part in 500-liter tinajas with lees for 11 months. It's very clean, with complexity and elegance, not exotic or showy, with a somewhat shy nose of white fruit, flowers and some spice, with very light oaking and very integrated, and a balanced and tasty palate that reflects the limestone soils. It's ripe at 14.5% alcohol, dense and round, with good acidity and balance.
