Abadía Retuerta Pago Valdebellón 2019 con Estuche

The 2019 Pago Valdebellón, their single-vineyard pure Cabernet Sauvignon comes from their higher-altitude plot and the vines have smaller leaves and thicker skins to resist the intensity of the sun there. 2019 was a dry year with low yields and small grapes. The uncrushed grapes fermented with 15 days of maceration, and the wine matured in French oak barrels, new for the first year and then was transferred to used barrels for a further six months. It has 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.67; it's young, modern and serious, very concentrated and wide, full-bodied and with rounder tannins. 6,644 bottles were filled in May 2021.
