Special Wines is a category of more than 40 prestigious and collector's bottles, centred mainly on the D.O. Rioja region (the Artadi winery) and the single-estate D.O.P. Abadía Retuerta. It includes unique vintages such as Artadi Viña el Pisón, which is sold in many vintages from 2004 to 2022 with prices in the order of 9 000 to 29 000 Kč per bottle, and the limited edition Grandes Añadas 2001. Abadia Retuerta is represented by the premium blends Pago Garduña, Pago Negralada and Petit Verdot. The price of a wine in this category depends on the vintage, the rating and limited availability - these are wines intended for collecting, for giving as a gift or for exceptional occasions.

How to find your way around this category

The category concentrates on two main lines: Artadi Viña el Pisón, one of the most highly valued Rioja labels, available in a range of vintages, and the premium blends of Abadía Retuerta, a single estate outside the D.O. classification, which combines international and local varieties.

The price and availability of individual vintages differ considerably - older and limited vintages are more expensive and less available than more recent ones.


Why the prices differ so much

Wine Region Characteristics Indicative price range
Artadi, Viña el Pisón (various vintages) D.O. / D.O.C. Rioja One of the most highly valued Rioja labels, a single-variety wine from a single vineyard approx. 9 500 - 29 050 Kč
Artadi, Grandes Añadas 2001 D.O. Rioja Limited edition, older vintage approx. 13 900 Kč
Abadia Retuerta, Pago Negralada D.O.P. Abadía Retuerta Premium blend from a single vineyard (pago) approx. 2 400 - 4 400 Kč
Abadia Retuerta, Petit Verdot D.O.P. Abadía Retuerta Single-variety wine, full flavour approx. 4 500 Kč

The price rises mainly with the age and rarity of the vintage and with the points awarded by expert tasters. You will always find the specific price and rating in the detail of the given wine.


How to store and serve a prestigious wine

Collector's and older wines require stable storage conditions - a constant temperature of around 12-14 °C, darkness and the bottle lying down so that the cork does not dry out. Before serving, leave the bottle standing upright for several hours so that any sediment settles at the bottom, and then decant it carefully.

With older vintages, bear in mind that the flavour and condition of the wine may differ from bottle to bottle - this is a natural product that continues to develop over time.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Artadi Viña el Pisón so expensive?
It is a single-variety wine from a single, strictly selected vineyard with limited production, a high rating from expert tasters and strong demand among collectors.
What does pago mean on an Abadía Retuerta wine?
Pago designates a wine from a single, clearly defined vineyard with its own terroir, similarly to prestigious French or Burgundian plots.
How long can a special wine be stored?
It depends on the particular wine and vintage - full-bodied wines from prestigious regions such as Rioja can age in the bottle for many years under the right storage conditions.
Is a special wine suitable as a gift?
Yes, prestigious vintages and limited editions are a popular gift for wine lovers - we recommend choosing the wine according to the occasion and possibly enclosing information about the vintage and its rating.
Why does the price of the same label differ according to vintage?
The price reflects the quality of the given vintage (influenced by the weather and the harvest), its rarity and its current rating - older and more limited vintages tend to be more expensive.
