This wine, a blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon gives a very fine, soft plumy fruit and a lovely ripe, smokiness. VINEYARD First planted in 1991, primarily on the northern, stonier and less fertile side of the Duero valley, the estate of Santa Maria de Retuerta covers 700 hectares, of which 204 are planted to vine. The vines are planted along a range of slopes running down to the southern bank of the River Duero from a maximum height of 850 metres. The estate comprises 54 crus that are identified by the composition of the soil, orientation, grape variety and microclimate. Rivola is made from grapes grown on predominantly calcareous soils, with patches of sand and pebbles. GRAPE VARIETIES 60% Tempranillo, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon VINIFICATION The different varieties were vinified and macerated for different lengths of time depending on their vineyard locations. Some underwent a cold pre-fermentation maceration before blending. The wine aged 6 months in new mixed French and American oak barrels before the final blend was put together and then bottled. TASTING NOTE The Abadia Retuerta Rivola 2009 is deep ruby red in colour with purple tints. On the nose this wine displays bright aromas of cherries and red berries with touches of vanilla from the new oak. The palate is silky-textured, medium to full bodied, with intense raspberry fruit of Tempranillo and firm but ripe tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon. The finish is mellow and long with good acidity and lovely balance.
