Good to Know: Nestled in the heart of Castilla y León, Abadía Retuerta is a historic Spanish estate where winemaking tradition meets modern innovation. Established in a restored 12th-century monastery, the winery lies just outside the Ribera del Duero appellation, allowing it the freedom to craft exceptional “Vino de Pago de Sardon del Duero” wines. Its 700-hectare estate is home to meticulously managed vineyards planted with Tempranillo alongside Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot, producing wines of remarkable depth and character.
The 2019 Pago Negralada stands as a landmark single-vineyard, 100% Tempranillo expression sourced from a historic plot situated close to the Duero River, where deep, gravelly, alluvial pebble soils dominate.
On the nose, the 2019 Pago Negralada presents a complex, fragrant bouquet of ripe dark berries, plums, and red cherries, interwoven with nuances of liquorice, bay leaf, black tea, espresso, and subtle toasted oak. The palate is bold and richly structured, balancing a refreshing streak of acidity with firm, velvety tannins and a long, savory, mineral-tinged finish.
