{"product_id":"abadia-retuerta-garduna-2019","title":"Abadia Retuerta, Garduña 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eAbadía Retuerta Garduña 2019 is a polished, expressive red from one of Spain’s most historic wine estates. Intense yet refined, it combines dark berry fruit, savoury nuance and silky tannins, with 16 months of ageing in French oak adding depth and complexity. Its roots reach back more than eight centuries to the Premonstratensian monks who first made wine at the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine presents a deep, richly coloured appearance. Its complex nose opens with aromas of forest berries, plums and blackberries, complemented by juniper, black olive and an inviting spiciness of cloves, black pepper and white pepper. On the palate, it is elegant and supple while retaining impressive intensity, with expressive dark fruit, balanced structure and silky, fruit-driven tannins. The 2019 vintage is approachable now, but its concentration, balance and oak maturation should allow it to develop gracefully over the medium term when carefully stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGarduña is produced at Abadía Retuerta’s historic estate, where 193 hectares of vineyards are divided into 54 individual parcels, each reflecting distinct soil structures and grape varieties. This parcel-by-parcel approach allows the winemaking team, led by winemaker and director Ángel Anocíbar, to express the character of the local terroir with precision. The wine is matured for 16 months in French oak barrels, giving structure and subtle spice while preserving its dark-fruited character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts rich fruit, savoury notes and supple tannins make Garduña an excellent match for roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, venison, Iberian pork, game dishes and mature cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended, particularly when serving the wine young, to allow its aromatic complexity and texture to open fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbadía Retuerta is a historic estate with a winemaking tradition dating back more than 800 years, when Premonstratensian monks established wine production at the abbey.
