Targum is the kind of wine that makes you stop and appreciate the moment. This 10-year-old Tempranillo is rich, smooth, and full of stories. With every sip, you feel the years of care that went into it—the way it’s developed complexity and depth that only time can bring. It’s bold but graceful, with a structure that makes it feel like a true classic. If you’ve ever wanted to experience what a decade of aging can do to a wine, Targum delivers.

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

Forget the run-of-the-mill, grocery store Riberas that barely register on your palate. Abadía de Acón is for the true connoisseur, the wine lover who knows the difference between mass-produced and genuine quality. The winery rivals the giants of Ribera del Duero—like Vega Sicilia Único—producing wines of equal intensity and power, but without the absurd price tag.

Why pay outrageous prices for Vega Sicilia when you can experience the same quality, power, and intensity from a small, family-run operation that treats each bottle like a masterpiece?

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 Big Hammer 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!
