Abadia Retuerta RIVOLA Sardon De Duero Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y Leon
Description: The Rivola is a blend of 60% Tempranillo and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Tempranillo and Cabernet used for the Rivola were vinified separately, with lengthy maceration, including cold pre-fermentation maceration. The wine spent 12 months in new oak barrels, both French and American. It has a good depth of ruby red colour and is intensely perfumed with notes of coffee, and black cherry, overlaid with a spicy, vanilla aroma. On the palate the strawberry, cherry fruit character mingles with spices such as cloves and liquorice. The Cabernet gives depth and concentration to the ripe strawberry character of the Tempranillo. It is long, smooth and spicy to the finish. This 700 hectare estate, situated just to the west of the Ribera del Duero zone and only five kilometers down river from Vega Sicilia, has 210 hectares of vineyard. First planted in 1991, primarily on the northern, stonier and less fertile side of the Duerovalley, the vineyards are immaculately tended, and comprised of 65% Tempranillo, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot.
