Abadia Retuerta Garduna Syrah

Please note: Case of 6 bottles.  

Grape Varieties & Vinification
Abadía Retuerta is a historic estate in Castilla y León, Spain, with a winemaking tradition dating back over eight centuries. The estate, led by oenologist Ángel Anocíbar, is known for its commitment to wines that reflect the unique personality of the terroir. Since early 2022, it has held its own Protected Designation of Origin (Abadía Retuerta DOP). 

This wine, made entirely from 100% Syrah, reflects the unique characteristics of the Pago Garduña. The grapes originate from the characteristic calcareous soils of this specific vineyard. The aging takes place for 16 months in new French oak barrels.

Tasting Note
The nose is complex, with a striking, enticing mix of forest fruits, plums, blackberries, and juniper berries. There are also characteristic hints of black olive and a certain spiciness of clove, along with a lively presence of black and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is elegant and soft, yet simultaneously intense. It is an expressive and balanced wine, with silky-smooth and fruity tannins that ensure a velvety texture and excellent aging potential.

Food Pairing
This elegant and powerful Syrah is ideal for dishes with spicy depth and rich texture:

• Game Dishes: Think of wild boar, venison, or pheasant.
• Grilled or Roasted Red Meat: A steak with a peppercorn crust or herb-crusted lamb.
• Rich Stews: With spices such as clove, juniper berry, or bay leaf.
• Cheese Board: Excellent with aged, tangy, and hard cheeses.
