Abadia Retuerta, Cuvèe Palomar 2020

Abadía Retuerta Cuvée Palomar 2020 is a powerful yet refined Spanish red from one of the country’s most historically significant wine estates. Its deep colour, expressive red-fruit character and elegant freshness make it an appealing choice for drinkers looking for a generous, polished wine with a strong sense of place. The estate’s winemaking tradition dates back more than eight centuries, when Premonstratensian monks first began producing wine here.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a striking, deep purple colour in the glass. Its aromatic profile is centred on vibrant red fruit, with notes of raspberry and strawberry complemented by subtle liquorice nuances. On the palate, it is richly aromatic but remarkably graceful, offering a delicate, elegant texture and a lively freshness that carries through to the finish. With its fruit concentration, freshness and extended maturation in French oak, Cuvée Palomar 2020 should develop additional complexity over the next several years. It can be enjoyed now after some aeration, or cellared in the short to medium term for more integrated oak and tertiary notes.

Production
The wine comes from Abadía Retuerta’s historic 193-hectare estate, which is divided into 54 individual parcels with distinct soil structures and grape varieties. This parcel-based approach allows the winemaking team, led by Ángel Anocíbar, to express the character of the local terroir with precision. Harvesting details and the specific grape composition are not provided, while maturation takes place over 24 months in French oak barrels, contributing depth, spice and a polished texture.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Its ripe red-fruit flavours, freshness and supple texture pair well with roast lamb, grilled beef, game birds, Iberian pork, mushroom dishes and mature cheeses. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended when serving the wine young, helping to open its aromas and soften its oak influence.

Producer
Abadía Retuerta is a historic estate with roots in the Premonstratensian monastic tradition, which began more than 800 years ago. Today, the winery continues this heritage under the direction of winemaker and managing director Ángel Anocíbar, with a focus on producing distinctive wines that reflect the individuality of each vineyard parcel. In early 2022, Abadía Retuerta reached an important milestone when it was awarded its own Protected Designation of Origin by the European Union, recognising the estate’s particular identity and longstanding commitment to quality.
