Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial 2021

Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial 2021 komt van een historisch Spaans landgoed in Castilla y León waar al meer dan acht eeuwen wijn wordt gemaakt. Oenoloog Ángel Anocíbar leidt het team met één duidelijk doel: wijnen creëren die de persoonlijkheid van de wijngaarden rond de abdij zuiver laten spreken. Wat maakt Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial zo bijzonder? Het is een complexe, houtgerijpte blend van zes druivenrassen die samen een krachtige maar elegante rode wijn vormen, bekroond met hoge internationale beoordelingen.

Wijngaarden en regio

Abadía Retuerta ligt in Spanje, in Castilla y León, aan de beroemde Gouden Mijl van de Duero vallei. De wijn wordt in de regio Ribera del Duero gemaakt, op een landgoed dat als zelfstandig domein een eigen beschermde oorsprongsbenaming heeft gekregen: Abadía Retuerta DOP. De wijngaarden rond de abdij profiteren van warme zomerdagen, koele nachten en een afwisselende bodem van onder meer steenachtige en kalkrijke lagen, wat zorgt voor geconcentreerde druiven met frisse zuren. Door per perceel te werken kan het wijnmaakteam druiven selecteren met precies de rijpheid en structuur die nodig zijn voor de uiteindelijke blend van Selección Especial.

Vinificatie en rijping

Selección Especial is opgezet als een harmonieuze blend van Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Graciano en Petit Verdot. Na de vergisting rijpt de wijn 12 maanden in eikenhouten vaten van zowel Frans als Amerikaans eiken, een combinatie die kracht en kruidigheid koppelt aan subtiele vanille en toast. De rijping op hout geeft de wijn extra structuur en complexiteit, zonder het fruit te verbergen. Met 14,5% alcohol, 14 g/l restsuiker en een zuurgraad van 5,22 g/l is dit een rijpe, volle stijl die toch voldoende frisheid behoudt om elegant te blijven.

Druivensamenstelling

Tempranillo – Abadía Retuerta
Tempranillo vormt de ruggengraat van de wijn en zorgt voor donker rood fruit, rijpe tannines en de typische structuur die je verwacht van een topwijn uit de Duero vallei.

Cabernet Sauvignon – Abadía Retuerta
Cabernet Sauvignon voegt extra diepte en concentratie toe, met tonen die doen denken aan cassis en zwarte bes en met stevige maar verfijnde tannines.

Syrah – Abadía Retuerta
Syrah brengt kruidigheid en een vleugje zwarte peper in de blend, plus een donkere kleur en sappige fruitimpressies.

Merlot, Graciano en Petit Verdot – Abadía Retuerta
Merlot rondt het geheel af met zachter fruit en soepel mondgevoel, terwijl Graciano en Petit Verdot voor extra frisheid, aromatische spanning en lengte in de afdronk zorgen.

Proefnotities en serveertips

Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial heeft een diepe, donkerrode kleur in het glas. In de geur komen zuivere aroma’s van rood fruit naar voren, zoals aalbes, framboos en kers, aangevuld met subtiele houttonen. In de mond is de wijn zacht en verfrissend, met rijpe, fijne tannines die zorgen voor een evenwichtige structuur en een elegante, lange afdronk. Dankzij zijn concentratie en rijpe tannines combineert deze wijn uitstekend met gegrilde biefstuk, lamskoteletten of een rijke stoofpot. Ook bij gerijpte harde Spaanse kazen zoals Manchego Curado en andere karaktervolle kazen komt Selección Especial mooi tot zijn recht. Serveer rond 16 tot 18 °C voor de beste balans tussen geur en smaak.

Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!
