Winemaker Notes

Impressive color in the glass, intense and young. Opens up on the nose, offering very clean notes of wild herbs and ripe (almost preserve) red fruit (wild strawberry, raspberry and cherry), delicately creamy. In the mouth, the attack is very smooth,moving immediately on to unveil a very deep wine, fleshy and structured, with an impacting return to the fruit, although the highlight is perhaps its noblesse, maturity and refined tannins. Bold, persistent and full of character. A great wine, a wine ofdistinction.

RP 91

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2011 Pago Negralada is Tempranillo from a single-vineyard (pago means plot in Spanish), and seems to be the ripest of all the 2011s. Negralada is planted at 740 meters altitude, the lowest of them all and it ripened extremely well that year. The aromas are very ripe, with notes of prunes, damsons hinting on raisins and traces of spicy oak. The palate is medium to full-bodied, ripe and lush, with moderate acidity. It’s still a bit tannic.

The Abadía Retuerta Estate occupies over 700 hectares of terrain, and its name comes from the combination of two words that define and describe the territory: Rívula (river bank) and Torta (twisting, winding). Over 204 hectares of vineyards are spread out on hillsides ranging in altitude from a maximum 850 metres down to the southern bank of the Duero River. Most of the world's best varieties of soil are represented.

Designed by famous French enologist, Pascal Delbeck, in 1996, Abadía Retuerta winery is a surprising combination of tradition and modernity, recognized as one of the most advanced wineries in Europe. Currently, Angel Anocíbar Beloqui (PhD in Enology and Ampelography from the University of Bordeaux and International Wine Challenge 2005 Winemaker of the Year) coordinates the entire process, from the vine to the bottle.

Abadía Retuerta estate wines offer some very unique characteristics. They are full-colored wines, intense and aromatically clean, clearly structured, smooth to the palate and delicate in the development of their strength.
