Bright and intense red color that denotes youth. On the nose it is clean, fragrant, with aromatic complexity, where the fruity aromas of blackberry, red plum and figs stand out, and with perfumed floral notes of wild rose and spices of cloves and laurel. On the palate it is broad, vibrant and fresh, but with the softness and friendliness of its very fine-grained ripe tannins that cover the palate. Very persistent, with a long aftertaste and great projection, which will improve in the bottle over the years.

2017 and 2018 were very different years in the Duero, but at Abadía Retuerta, the killer frost from 2017 barely touched the vines. The 2017 Selección Especial is concentrated from the low yields and ripe from the warm cycle. It's a blend of 75% Tempranillo, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Syrah and 3% Merlot that matured for 12 months in barrels, one-third new. It's ripe and creamy and has an extroverted personality. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a juicy texture and fine, chalky tannins. 443,446 bottles produced.

A creamy, medium- to full-bodied red, with tobacco and loamy earth notes serving as a fragrant entry, transitioning to flavors of black and red currant, dried fig and anise. The iron-laced finish is firmed by supple tannins. Tempranillo, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2027. 40,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported.
