The Dominio de Atauta is a great fresh medium bodied wine with a great good acidity . In the nose leather, cocoa, tobacco nice red fruit and blackberries. The wine has a very nice long finish. Very well rated by Suckling, Parker and Vinous This is a great wine that is (still) affordable and can best be summarized as a wine with Power and Balance. Great!

More about Dominio de Atauta

The journey of the wine importer Miguel Sánchez to Atauta was a stroke of luck for the whole region. Traveling through the Ribera del Duero he discovered the small valley with its ancient, abandoned vineyards, more than 400 years old wine cellars, ancient cellar vaults and even the stone wine presses from the 13th century were still there. A wine wonderland that has fallen asleep.

The eastern DO was known to be difficult to exploit, because the vines are at a considerable altitude of almost 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, truly unbelievable. An immense wealth! They immediately gave exceptionally beautiful results, after the overgrown plots had been awakened. With the appearance of the first wines it immediately became clear that this was not only one of the best wines in the entire country, but even in the entire world! The strictly organic and plot by plot separately matured wines are among the best ever obtained from the Tempranillo grape variety.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2016 Dominio de Atauta is een prachtige wijn met een frisse medium body en een mooie zuurgraad die zorgt voor een elegante en evenwichtige smaakbeleving. In de neus komen aroma’s van leer, cacao en tabak samen met rijk rood fruit en zwarte bessen, en de lange afdronk maakt het tot een echte smaakvolle ervaring. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij gerechten met rundvlees, gevogelte of wild, vooral wanneer ze bereid zijn met stevige kruiden of langzaam gegaard om de kracht en complexiteit van de wijn te complementeren. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan een langzaam geroosterde eendenborst, een rijke wildstoof of een sappige steak van de grill, waarbij de wijn mooi kan ademen en de diepgang van de smaken versterkt.

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.
