2018 Abadia Retuerta Pago Negralada Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y Leon 750ml

Experience the ultimate expression of "Duero" Tempranillo with the 2018 Abadia Retuerta Pago Negralada 750ml at VS Liquor. This prestigious cuvée is a "Pago" wine, meaning it is sourced exclusively from a single, exceptional plot—in this case, the Negralada vineyard. Characterized by its deep gravel soils over a clay subsoil, this specific site on the estate's north-facing slopes allows Tempranillo to ripen slowly and maintain incredible structural elegance. The 2018 vintage in Castilla y León was a classic "winemaker's year," providing a long growing season that resulted in wines of profound aromatic complexity and firm, age-worthy tannins. After aging for 18 months in new French oak barrels, the Pago Negralada emerges as a powerful yet sophisticated masterpiece that rivals the most famous names of neighboring Ribera del Duero.

Whether you are seeking a premier gift for a collector of elite Spanish reds or a high-scoring masterpiece (94 Points, Robert Parker; 95 Points, James Suckling) to pair with roasted suckling pig, wagyu steak, or aged Manchego cheese, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless. Take advantage of our reliable home delivery service to have this 14.5% ABV icon brought directly to your door. In the glass, it reveals a dense, deep black-cherry color. The bouquet is highly sophisticated and intense, offering aromas of ripe blackberries, licorice, and balsamic notes, layered with nuances of clove, tobacco leaf, and a hint of mineral smoke. On the palate, it is full-bodied and regal, delivering a concentrated core of dark fruit framed by ripe, silky tannins and a long, persistent finish that echoes with the spicy complexity of high-quality French oak.
