Description

t’s also home to the award-winning Abadia Retuerta (World’s Best Vineyards 2021). This wine is made entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. After nearly thirty years, this variety is almost perfectly adapted to the unique enclave of the Pago Valdebellon, with its chalky soil that benefits from the particular microclimate in the highest part of the estate.

The result is a wine of a dark and intense colour, exuding a fresh, delicate air of sweet spices, exotic fruits and mineral aromas. Its persistent bouquet of redcurrant and shrubs accentuates the potential of the variety. Overall, it is a complex and generous wine that has become well-known and recognised as the best Cabernet Sauvignon in Spain.

Abadia Retuerta

Founded in 1996 and situated near the historic abbey of Santa María de Retuerta, the estate combines centuries-old winemaking heritage with modern techniques. Abadía Retuerta cultivates a variety of grapes, including Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, producing wines known for their elegance, complexity, and balance. The winery's flagship wine, Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial, consistently receives high acclaim for its rich flavours and sophisticated structure.

Castilla Y Leon

Castilla y León, located in north-central Spain, is a prominent wine region known for its rich history and diverse wine offerings. It benefits from a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, which, along with varied soil types, creates ideal conditions for viticulture.
The area is especially renowned for its robust reds, particularly those made from Tempranillo and Garnacha, which produce complex wines with rich fruit flavours and notable aging potential. It is also known for its whites, including those from Verdejo and Godello, offering fresh, aromatic profiles with crisp acidity.
Historically, Castilla y León has been a significant wine-producing area since ancient times, with a rich heritage that includes the renowned Ribera del Duero and Rueda DOs.
