Abadia Retuerta, Valdebellón 2019

Abadía Retuerta Valdebellón 2019 is a distinguished single-vineyard red from one of the estate’s most celebrated plots, known for producing Cabernet Sauvignon with remarkable depth and precision. Made at a historic estate whose winemaking tradition stretches back more than eight centuries, it combines powerful structure with an elegant, distinctly savory character.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a deep, concentrated ruby-red colour. Its refined nose reveals laurel, black tea and subtle paprika, complemented by smoky notes reminiscent of roasted vegetables and chestnuts. On the palate, it is flavourful, pure and complex, with excellent concentration and firm yet exceptionally fine-grained tannins. The 2019 vintage has the structure and balance to develop beautifully in bottle. It can be enjoyed now after aeration, while further cellaring should allow its savoury nuances, fruit and oak complexity to integrate even more harmoniously.

Production
Valdebellón comes from the Abadía Retuerta estate in Castilla y León, where 193 hectares are divided into 54 individual vineyard parcels, each defined by its own soil profile and grape variety. The wine is matured for 16 months in French oak barrels, allowing the naturally powerful fruit and fine tannins to gain polish while retaining their distinctive terroir expression. Harvesting and specific vinification details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Its depth and savoury complexity make it an excellent partner for roasted or grilled red meats, lamb, game, hearty mushroom dishes and mature cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decant for 30–60 minutes before serving, particularly when enjoying the wine in its youth, to soften the tannins and open its aromatic profile.

Producer
Abadía Retuerta is a historic wine estate with roots in the Premonstratensian monastic community, which began making wine here more than 800 years ago. Today, winemaker and director Ángel Anocíbar leads a team dedicated to expressing the individual character of the estate’s diverse vineyards. In early 2022, Abadía Retuerta achieved an important milestone when it received its own Protected Designation of Origin from the European Union, further recognising the estate’s distinctive identity and long-standing importance in the region.
