D* Abadia Retuerta Seleccion Especial 2017

NOTE: As part of our Explorer Series some labels may be slightly stained/damaged, but wines are first quality.

The 2017 Selección Especial is concentrated from the low yields and ripe from the warm cycle. It’s a blend of 75% Tempranillo, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Syrah and 3% Merlot that matured for 12 months in barrels, one-third new. It’s ripe and creamy and has an extroverted personality. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a juicy texture and fine, chalky tannins.
