Case Selección Especial 2006-2012-2016

Time, evolution, and style.

Selección Especial is born from the interplay among the estate’s 49 vineyards. Each vintage requires reassembling this mosaic, interpreting the harvest, and rediscovering
the balance that defines Abadía Retuerta’s most iconic wine.
The 2006, 2012, and 2016 vintages allow us to observe the evolution of this style over the course of a decade and to see how the complexity of its origin transforms, over the years, into elegance and fullness.
