Colour

Clean, clear and bright. Cherry color with garnet reflections. Medium layer intensity. Very nice to look at.

AROMA:

The welcome he gives you on the nose is spectacular. Wonderfully expressive and elegant it is embalmed by floral aromas, citrus (which give it a touch of freshness) and spicy touches. Next, it should be noted that it evolves into a glass with an overwhelming complexity, where it offers us the catalog of empirical aromas of toasted caramel, cocoa, mocha and toast.

TASTE:

Mouthwash where you are welcomed by tannins of a perfectly harmonized softness and unctuousness. Next, the retro-nasal aromas of black and red computed fruit will be responsible for providing the sweetest touch, of a muscular, silky and warm wine.

We have a wine of extraordinary versatility to be able to pair. From cured cheeses, to starters like a bean salad with Iberian ham, game meat dishes, quail with vegetable sauce, pork feet with snails, rabbit paellas and mushrooms, and more.

In the year 1146 the Premonstratensian order built the Santa María de Retuerta monastery in an unbeatable location on the banks of the Duero. The monks of the order of San Norberto were granted terras et vineas; and the second Abbot brought from Burgundy the first strains of French varieties that were planted. Today we can affirm that the three essential characteristics of the medieval order: work, peace and hospitality, continue to be part of the spirit of the winery.

The Petit verdot is not assiduously worked as a single varietal. This grape, the most exotic of the Bordeaux varieties, is used in small proportions to give nerve to different coupages, but at Abadía Retuerta they have taken advantage of the excellent adaptation of this variety to their terroir to create a unique and very original red.
