Abadía Retuerta, Abadia Retuerta Cuvèe Palomar 2021

Abadía Retuerta Cuvée Palomar 2021 is a distinctive red blend from one of Castilla y León’s most historic estates, crafted to express both local character and contemporary finesse. Made from Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and Malbec, it combines fruit, spice and structure in a style that reflects the estate’s long winemaking heritage and its own protected appellation status.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, vivid purple colour that hints at its concentration and youthful energy. The nose is generous and expressive, with layers of raspberry and strawberry lifted by subtle liquorice and spice notes. On the palate, it is aromatic and polished, with a delicate yet elegant texture. The fruit feels ripe but fresh, supported by a well-integrated oak frame and a lively, clean finish. With its balance of power and refinement, it has the structure to age gracefully over the medium term, gaining further complexity and harmony with a few more years in bottle.

Production
The wine comes from Abadía Retuerta’s 193 hectares of vineyards, divided into 54 distinct parcels with varied soils and grape varieties, allowing the team to work with a highly detailed expression of terroir. Rooted in the monastery’s centuries-old viticultural tradition, the estate focuses on parcel selection and careful vineyard work to capture the personality of each site. Cuvée Palomar is aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, a long maturation that builds structure and integrates the wine’s fruit and oak elements while preserving its freshness.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for richly flavoured yet refined dishes such as entrecôte, beef cheeks or elegant game preparations. It also pairs beautifully with complex charcuterie and Spanish tapas that have a sweet-spicy edge. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if enjoyed young to allow the aromas and texture to open fully.

Producer
Abadía Retuerta is a landmark estate with roots reaching back to the Premonstratensian monks who began making wine there more than 800 years ago. Under the direction of winemaker and CEO Ángel Anocíbar, the winery has continued to refine its identity through parcel-focused viticulture and precise cellar work. In 2022, the estate reached a major milestone when it was awarded its own Protected Designation of Origin by the European Union, underlining its importance in the region and its reputation for high-quality, terroir-driven wines.
