Abadia Retuerta Seleccion Especial

Red fruit opening, floral notes, a hint of eucalyptus and cedar wood — the Selección Especial from Abadía Retuerta shows what Tempranillo from the Castilian highlands can achieve when site and craftsmanship come together.

The winery is located in the heart of Castile, surrounding a 12th-century monastery. Since 1991, 54 individual vineyard plots have been replanted across a total of 700 hectares of land — each site with the variety that best exploits its potential. Remarkable: A forgotten vineyard from 1887 survived the phylloxera catastrophe and still bears own-rooted vines today. Reforestation, the settlement of birds of prey, and the targeted promotion of beneficial insects are part of everyday life on the estate.

In the glass, the wine reveals a clear, complex nose: red fruits, caramel, cedar wood, and a fresh touch of eucalyptus. Soft and balanced on the palate, with lively acidity and ripe, silky tannins. The finish is long and pleasant.

Served at 16–18 °C, it pairs well with leg of lamb with a herb crust, Iberico pork belly, or a robust Manchego. It is also a good companion for evenings when a glass of red wine should speak for itself.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
