Description

chevron-down

The Dominio de Atauta is a great fresh medium bodied wine with great acidity. Leather, cocoa, tobacco, beautiful red fruit and blackcurrants on the nose. The wine has a very nice long aftertaste. Rated very well 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. Awesome!

More about Dominio de Atauta

Wine importer Miguel Sánchez's trip to Atauta was a fluke for the entire region. While passing through the Ribera del Duero, he discovered the small valley with its ancient, abandoned 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 fallen asleep.

The east of the 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 incredible. An immense wealth! They immediately gave exceptionally beautiful results, after the overgrown plots had been woken up. When the first wines appeared, 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 wines grown separately plot by plot are among the best ever produced 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.
