🇪🇸 Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial 2019

Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial 2019 – Award-Winning Spanish Red Blend

Iconic Red from the Golden Mile of Spain

A Legend Reborn Every Vintage.

Sourced from vineyards surrounding a restored 12th-century monastery in Sardón de Duero, Selección Especial 2019 is the calling card of Abadía Retuerta—and a masterclass in balance, elegance, and structure. This wine isn’t just “special” in name. It’s the bottle that put this estate on the global map.

Blending Tempranillo (75%), Syrah (15%), and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), the 2019 vintage comes from an exceptional year: warm days, cool nights, and one of the estate’s most balanced harvests in decades.
