The Abadía Retuerta Pago Negralada 2017 is a wine that captures the purest interpretation of Tempranillo in the winery's payment wine collection. With grapes from a single plot, the wine reflects the vineyard’s character situated over deep gravel and shallow sands. The 2017 vintage, known for its low yields but high quality, has produced an extraordinarily intense and balanced wine. The short maceration and aging in French oak barrels for 16 months preserve the vineyard's identity, providing a silky texture and excellent aging potential. On the nose, it offers aromas of red and black fruits, licorice, herbs, and hints of minerals, while on the palate it is broad and refined, with a long finish. Perfect for pairing with lamb, red meats, and aged cheeses, it is recommended to be served between 16 and 18 °C.
