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.

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.
