🇪🇸 Abadía Retuerta Le Domaine 2021

Abadía Retuerta Le Domaine 2021 – White Wine Innovation from Castilla y León

A Groundbreaking White from the Heart of Tempranillo Country

When a red wine house makes a white—and nails it.

In a land ruled by Tempranillo, Le Domaine is the white that dared to speak first. Crafted on the historic Abadía Retuerta estate—home to a 12th-century monastery and some of Spain’s most revered reds—Le Domaine 2021 is a game-changer: a bold, aromatic white that whispers elegance and roars terroir.

Made from a rare blend of mostly Sauvignon Blanc, with Verdejo and a hint of Godello, this wine shows just how expressive Castilla y León can be when it sheds its red robe. Fermented in stainless steel and aged partially in French oak barrels, it's round, zesty, and layered.

👨🔬 The Winemaker

Ángel Anocíbar, Abadía Retuerta’s long-time winemaker and vineyard whisperer, brings a PhD in oenology and the soul of a poet to his craft. His white wines are no side hustle—they’re precise, intentional, and treated with the same gravity as the estate’s iconic reds.
