Abadia Retuerta, Negralada MAGN 2018

Abadía Retuerta Negralada MAGN 2018 is a refined and powerful red wine presented in magnum format, making it especially well suited to extended dinners and special occasions. Made from a carefully selected vineyard parcel, it combines expressive red and dark fruit with savoury spice, polished tannins and impressive depth. Its origin lies at the historic Abadía Retuerta estate, where winemaking traditions can be traced back more than eight centuries to the Premonstratensian monks.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep, vibrant colour, followed by an aromatic and complex nose of raspberries, redcurrants and blackberries. As it opens, notes of clove, bay leaf and black tea add an elegant savoury dimension, complemented by subtle oak nuances from its time in French barrels. On the palate, Negralada is both structured and graceful, with concentrated fruit, supple tannins and a finely balanced, persistent finish. The magnum format is particularly favourable for gradual maturation, and the 2018 vintage should continue to develop additional complexity with careful cellaring over the coming years.

Production
Negralada is produced at Abadía Retuerta, whose 193 hectares of vineyards are divided into 54 individual parcels, each distinguished by its own soil structure and micro-terroir. This parcel-focused approach allows the winery to highlight the individual character of the estate’s sites. Following a careful harvest and precise vinification, the wine is aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, creating a harmonious balance between fruit, spice and structure.

Food & Serving
A versatile partner for richly flavoured dishes, this wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, game, Iberian cured meats and mushroom-based dishes. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended, particularly when opening the wine young, to allow its fruit and savoury nuances to unfold. The large-format bottle can also benefit from gentle decanting to remove any sediment that may have formed during ageing.

Producer
Abadía Retuerta is one of Spain’s most historic wine estates, with a viticultural heritage dating back more than 800 years. Today, winemaker and managing director Ángel Anocíbar leads a team committed to producing distinctive wines that express the personality of the estate’s diverse terroirs. The property reached an important milestone in early 2022 when it received its own Protected Designation of Origin from the European Union, further recognising the unique identity and quality of its wines.
