The wine has an intense dark purple hue and a peppery nose with hints of warm beetroot, freshly turned earth and forest fruits. The full bodied palate has aromatic notes of violet and smoke that accompany the concentrated fruit flavours of blackberry, blackcurrant and plum. The silky tannins provide an excellent balance to the intense, creamy textures of this seductive wine.undefinedAbadia Retuerta is a small, very premium and artisanal winery comprised of individual vineyards in the historic area of Sardon de Duero in Ribera del Duero. 54 plots have been identified, each with very different characteristics and planted with a single variety. One of the specialities of the estate is their use of international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc; this approach sets the wines apart from the requirements of DO Ribera del Duero.
