Abadía Retuerta Petit Verdot 2014

The Petit Verdot – the most exotic of the Bordeaux grape vines – is the basis of this original wine. Normally used in small proportions to provide nerve to other varieties, Abadía Retuerta has taken advantage of the full potential of this grape to create a single-variety wine thatis both unique and very original.

The scorching sun of Castile, a particular terroir with predominantly sandy soil, and 19 months of ageing in oak barrels bestow anexquisite character on this wine. It has a very limited and select production. An indulgence for sybarites.
