Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Petit Verdot shows very serious, harmonious, Atlantic and elegant with herbal and peppery notes, certainly not lacking ripeness (it's 14.5% alcohol, lower than 2016) and with a finer mouthfeel, rounder tannins and a more balanced palate. It feels like this wine behaves better in warmer years. 2,921 bottles were filled in May 2019.

Description
Abadía Retuerta Petit Verdot is a single varietal red wine, made exclusively with the Petit Verdot variety. This wine, from the Abadía Retuerta PDO, is distinguished by its uniqueness and seduction. The vineyards, planted in 1991, are located at an altitude of 840 metres, in a sandy soil, which contributes to the unique characteristics of this wine.
Winemaking
The production of Abadía Retuerta Petit Verdot begins with a careful selection of grapes on a sorting table. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with a maceration of 10 days. Subsequently, malolactic fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels. The ageing process lasts 17 months in French and American oak barrels, which adds complexity and structure to the wine.
Taste
Abadía Retuerta Petit Verdot is characterised by its maturity, structure and elegance. On the nose, aromas of ripe red fruit stand out, with floral notes and a very subtle spicy touch. On the palate, the wine is unctuous, with a smooth and sweet passage. The finish is long and refined, leaving a lasting and pleasant impression.
This wine is ideal for pairing with white meats, cured meats and rice dishes, and is best served at a temperature of 18°C. The combination of its unique terroir, meticulous winemaking and careful ageing make Abadía Retuerta Petit Verdot a liquid jewel that reflects the excellence of viticulture in the Castilla y León region.
