Description
In a nutshell:
A rich, fresh, full-bodied red from the borders of Ribera del Duero.
The lowdown:
Abadia Retuerta may not be in the political boundaries of the acclaimed Ribera del Duero wine region however it sits right on the western edge near Sardon del Duero and is a Ribera in all but name, and produces wines of significantly better quality than most. Their Selección Especial is predominately Tempranillo but with also small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot in the blend. Big, bright, enveloping aromas of fragrant blackberry, plum and red fruit with touches of liquorice and sweet spice oaky notes. The palate is broad and deep but with a beautifully balanced freshness, grippy tannins, a generous richness of fruit and oak, and a finish that is long, complex and smooth.
When to drink:
An excellent wine that is drinking well now (though decant at least 1 hour beforehand), but will also keep into the 2030s.
Suitable for Vegetarians
