{"title":"Abadía Retuerta — Producer Spotlight","description":"\u003cp\u003eA complete spotlight on one of Spain's most singular estates — Abadía Retuerta, a 12th-century abbey on the banks of the Duero in Sardón de Duero, just west of Ribera del Duero. First vintage in 1996; in 2022 it earned Vino de Pago status, Spain's highest single-estate classification. From the $45.99 Selección Especial flagship to the 97-point Pago Valdebellón — called the best Cabernet Sauvignon in Spain — and the rare PV Petit Verdot. Estate-only fruit, Bordeaux-trained winemaking, a Michelin-starred estate. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"abadia-retuerta-seleccion-especial-castilla-leon","title":"2017 | Bodega Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial | Castilla y León","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2017 and 2018 were very different years in the Duero, but at Abadía Retuerta, the killer frost from 2017 barely touched the vines. The 2018 Selección Especial is concentrated from the low yields and ripe from the warm cycle. It's a blend of 75% Tempranillo, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Syrah and 3% Merlot that matured for 12 months in barrels, one-third new. It's ripe and creamy and has an extroverted personality. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a juicy texture and fine, chalky tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBodega Abadía Retuerta produces this Cabernet Syrah Tempranillo in Castilla Y Leon, Spain.
