Abadía de Acón’s wines are not for the faint of heart—they are bold, untamed, and unapologetically powerful.

The Carrasco brothers—José Antonio and Carlos—are obsessively meticulous about every detail, tending to their vineyards with the care that large industrial wineries can only dream of. Their grapes, carefully handpicked and selected, are a true reflection of the land’s potential, nurtured in the prime soils of Castrillo de la Vega.

Abadía de Acón is a hidden gem in Ribera del Duero. Carved into the very bones of Castrillo de la Vega, its original cellar—one of the largest and most historic—stands as a symbol of unwavering tradition and revolutionary innovation. The Carrasco family’s roots in Ribera del Duero run so deep they could be mistaken for the foundations of the land itself. For centuries, this family has cultivated excellence, blending ancient methods with cutting-edge technology to craft wines that speak with unmistakable authority on the world stage.

At the helm of this extraordinary winery are the Carrasco brothers—José Antonio, Carlos, and José Antonio Jr.—who lead Abadía de Acón with a fierce dedication passed down from their grandfather, Norberto Carrasco. It was Norberto who, in 1953, revolutionized the family’s approach by introducing concrete vats to the cellar, creating wines that were as graceful as they were bold. This is Ribera del Duero at its finest.

At a wine event in Barcelona, Greg Martellotto, founder of One Vine Wines and a wine expert with over 25 years of experience, discovered Abadía de Acón. Immediately captivated by the wines’ bold, soulful character, he knew they were something extraordinary. Driven by his passion for sharing exceptional wines, Greg decided to import these unique Ribera del Duero gems, bringing them directly to you!

Aging: 5 months in oak.
