Abadia Acon 'Roble' Ribera del Duero, Spain

Acon Roble is a vibrant Tempranillo that brings together freshness, fruit and depth in perfect balance. Expect layers of black cherry, ripe red berries and a lift of herbs, with notes of chocolate, liquorice and a gentle touch of toffee and cedar from its five months in oak. Rich and textured yet lively on the palate, this is a wine that evolves beautifully over the course of an evening, offering complexity without heaviness.

This wine comes from Ribera del Duero, one of Spain’s most celebrated regions for Tempranillo, where altitude and dramatic temperature shifts deliver power and finesse. The Carrasco family have been shaping wine here since 1953, when Norberto Carrasco pioneered the use of concrete alongside oak to highlight fruit purity. Today, his grandson José Antonio Carrasco continues this vision, combining tradition with a modern touch to craft elegant, expressive wines. Acón Roble captures the spirit of the estate; mature, fruit-driven, and unmistakably Ribera.
