2019 Selección Especial, Abadia Retuerta

Aromatic and mouthfilling, scented and flavoured with cherry liqueur, dark chocolate and ripe blackberries.

After sorting, the Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, the grapes were fermented at low temperatures with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks for around 1 to 3 weeks; during this time, gentle extraction was performed by 'delestage' and 'remontage'. After a spontaneous malolactic in tank, the wine was moved to "IFO" steel mini-vats. A unique system, devised by Pascal Delbeck, allowing for pump-free racking, without moving the tanks. 13 Months in French and American oak barrels follows.
