With 30 years of history and a winemaking tradition dating back more than eight centuries, Abadía Retuerta finds its essence and raison d'être in its estate wine (the vino de pago appellation in Spanish), which is the wine that most accurately expresses the personality and uniqueness of the terroir. The monks who founded the abbey were the first to cultivate vines and produce wine. They chose this place on the banks of the Douro River due to its long winemaking tradition. Today, the winery, perfectly integrated into the beautiful surroundings, is one of the most prestigious in the area.
