Abadia Retuerta

History
The majestic abbey of Santa Maria de Retuerta was built on the banks of the Duero River in 1146 by order of the Conde de Castilla who wanted to create a network of fortified monasteries to protect his lands. In 1996 a new winery was established here set on 700 hectares of vineyards which include 54 different plots surrounded by mountains and verdant forests.

Many of the vineyards grow at 700 to 850 meters above sea level, ensuring warm sunny days and cooler nights which help to preserve plenty of freshness as well as ripe fruit flavours.







I like the selection of nice wines a lot. What could be better is taking good care of the wines during transport. It is very cold in Holland and the wines i received yesterday where freezing cold. I hope that they are not damaged by the cold.
