Description
The Ribera del Duero is one of the most prestigious wine regions in Spain. Situated in the heart of Castilla y León, this region enjoys a unique microclimate. The high altitude of the vineyards, often above 900 metres, contributes to wines with an excellent balance between freshness and complexity. The region is famous for its robust red wines, mainly made from the Tempranillo grape, known locally as Tinto Fino.
The vineyards of Dominio de Atauta are located in a secluded valley and are characterized by old vines, some of which are over 140 years old. These vines are ungrafted, which means they retain pure genetic material and are resistant to phylloxera. The winery works with a sustainable approach, where minimalist interventions respect and preserve the quality of the grapes.
The 2016 Dominio de Atauta La Mala is made entirely from Tempranillo grapes. The continental climate in Ribera del Duero offers extreme differences between day and night temperatures, which contributes to a slow ripening of the grapes and a perfect balance between sugar and acidity. The year 2016 had ideal weather conditions, with a mild spring and a dry summer, which resulted in an exceptional harvest.
Tasting notes of the 2016 dominio de atauta la mala
This wine has a deep ruby red colour with purple reflections. On the nose it offers intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, combined with hints of violets, cedar and a subtle minerality. On the palate the wine is full and powerful, with velvety tannins and a long, elegant finish. Perfect to enjoy now or to keep for a few more years.

I had two vintages from the terroir bottlings to taste, 2012 and 2013, which always makes for an interesting comparison. The 2012 La Mala is from the plot they consider to deliver more mineral wines. It was fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured for 18 months in French barriques, 30% of them new. It shows the power and concentration of the very dry year, with more finesse and perfume than the Llanos del Almendro from the same year, but it's not as refined as the 2013 La Mala. 1,274 bottles were filled in July 2014.
The 2013s were terrific, and scoring them is splitting hairs. Ultimately, it comes down to taste: if you prefer the more mineral Llanos del Almendro or the power of Valdegatiles. The two projects to resume producing San Juan and La Mala are great, but they are produced in tiny quantities, which makes them almost impossible to obtain.

Dominio de Atauta Ribera del Duero La Mala 2012 | $140
Dense and firm, this chewy red delivers black cherry and red plum flavors, with licorice, menthol, mineral and toasty notes that break through the muscular tannins. This coasts on fresh acidity through the floral, spicy finish. Best from 2018 through 2030. 50 cases imported.

From: Central Spain: Tempranillo and Beyond (Dec 2015)
Opaque ruby. Hugely perfumed aromas of red fruit liqueur, Asian spices and potpourri, with a smoky mineral quality building in the glass. Strikingly pure and vibrant on the palate, offering sappy raspberry, blood orange and rose pastille flavors and an exotic touch of five-spice powder. Shows a suave blend of power and finesse, finishing subtly tannic and very long, with no rough edges and outstanding energy. Pretty remarkable stuff, and shockingly approachable now, if you're not the patient sort. These vines are now more than a century old.

The wine importer Miguel Sánchez's trip to Atauta was a fluke for the entire region. Passing through the Ribera del Duero, he discovered the small valley with its ancient, deserted vineyards, more than 400-year-old wine cellars, ancient cellar vaults and even the stone wine presses from the 13th century were still available. A wine wonderland that has fallen asleep.
The east of the DO was known to be difficult to exploit, as the vines are at a considerable height of nearly 1,000 meters. Miguel Sánchez came, saw and conquered: the youngest Tempranillo vines are 60 years old, the oldest vines are up to 160 years old, really incredible. An immense wealth! They immediately gave exceptionally beautiful results, after the wild plots were kissed awake. With the release of the first wines, it immediately became clear that this was not only one of the best wines from all over the country, but even from all over the world! The strict organic and parcel for parcel separately brought up wines are among the best ever extracted from the grape variety Tempranillo.
