Abadía Retuerta

Castilla y León Cabernet and Tempranillo, rated by major critics.

Abadía Retuerta produces wines in Castilla y León, Spain's vast central plateau. The winery works with the region's signature grapes—Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon—translating them into structured, age-worthy reds. Pago Valdebellón, a Cabernet Sauvignon, and Lapsus, a Tempranillo, stand as the winery's flagship expressions, both commanding attention from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. Pago Negralada, another Tempranillo offering, rounds out the portfolio. These wines reflect the continental climate and mineral soils of Castilla y León, where temperature swings between seasons build phenolic ripeness and acidity in equal measure. The winery's approach centers on varietal expression and balance rather than extraction.
