Product Description
Details
For several reasons, Dominio de Atauta is a truly singular Spanish red wine.
First, it is made from high-altitude Tinta Fina vines located at altitudes between 980 and 1,050 metres above sea level.
Second, all of the vines, scattered over more many little plots, are over 60 years old. Some of them, over 140 years of age, are prephylloxeric.
Harvested at dusk, the grapes were cooled in the cellar, destemmed and macerated at a low temperature.
After the completion of alcoholic fermentation in concrete tanks and oak vats, this red wine from Ribera del Duero by the Dominio de Atauta winery was transferred into French oak barrels (20% new), where it completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for over a period of 16 months.
We suggest that you decant Dominio de Atauta 2016 from Ribera del Duero at least 30 minutes before drinking.

Firm on the outside, delicate on the inside. I feel the altitude, the cold and the soil. Purity.
