It's a powerful, oak-aged blend of Spanish and international grape varieties with an elegant texture and a distinct gastronomic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"738\"\u003e Vineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"740\" data-end=\"1411\"\u003eAbadía Retuerta Cuvée Palomar comes from Spain, from Castilla y León, in the Ribera del Duero region. The estate's vineyards are situated along the Duero River on high terraces, where the river and the surrounding hills provide cool shade at night. The estate is part of the prestigious strip known as the Golden Mile, where several top estates are concentrated. The climate is continental with warm summers and cold winters, resulting in grapes with high concentration and robust acidity. In this environment, Abadía Retuerta can work plot by plot, selecting the grapes that best suit the style of Cuvée Palomar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1440\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1442\" data-end=\"2001\"\u003eAbadía Retuerta Cuvée Palomar is an expressive blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Malbec. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, a long period that creates structure, complexity, and a fine integration of fruit and woody aromas. The extended oak aging gives the wine additional depth and aging potential, while maintaining its elegant texture. With 14.5% alcohol, 14g\/l residual sugar, and 5.22g\/l acidity, this is a ripe, full-bodied style with enough freshness to remain balanced at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2028\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2226\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2063\"\u003eTempranillo – Abadía Retuerta\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2066\"\u003e Tempranillo forms the base of the blend and brings dark red fruit, firmness and the recognisable backbone you expect from a wine from the Duero Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2228\" data-end=\"2387\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2228\" data-end=\"2258\"\u003eGarnacha – Abadía Retuerta\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr data-start=\"2258\" data-end=\"2261\"\u003eGarnacha adds riper red fruit and juiciness, giving the wine not only power but also an inviting, round character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2552\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2419\"\u003eGraciano – Abadía Retuerta\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2419\" data-end=\"2422\"\u003e Graciano provides extra freshness, aromatic tension and a spicy note that gives the wine more depth in aroma and taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2554\" data-end=\"2700\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2554\" data-end=\"2582\"\u003eMalbec – Abadía Retuerta\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2582\" data-end=\"2585\"\u003e Malbec enhances the colour and structure and contributes to the concentrated, soft tannins and long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2702\" data-end=\"2735\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2737\" data-end=\"3331\"\u003eAbadía Retuerta Cuvée Palomar has a vibrant purple color in the glass.
