The Ribera del Duero region: birthplace of premium wines
Located in the north of Spain, Ribera del Duero is one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world. The area is known for its dramatic plateaus, varied soils and extreme climate. The high altitude, often above 800 meters, ensures warm days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop their complexity.
The grapes and the terroir
The Dominio de Atauta Llanos del Almendro 2016 is made from 100% Tinto Fino, a local variety of the Tempranillo grape. The Llanos del Almendro vineyard stands out for its sandy and calcareous soils, which contribute to the mineral freshness and structure of the wine. The vines are over 100 years old and produce low yields, but grapes of exceptional quality.
The climate in Ribera del Duero is characterised by hot summers and freezing winters, with large temperature differences between day and night. These extreme conditions favour a perfect balance between sugar and acid in the grapes, which is essential for a wine of this calibre. The 2016 harvest was characterised by ideal weather conditions, resulting in a vintage of exceptional quality.
