The 2015 Dominio de Atauta is pure Tempranillo from a myriad of small plots in the Atauta zone, fermented and matured in oak. It's a heady and ripe red with 15% alcohol and moderate acidity that manages to show poise and freshness. In fact, it's a more complete wine than the 2014 equivalent. The tannins feel finer, perhaps because they used less new oak. These wines are the opposite of wines in other zones of Ribera del Duero. In 2015 they had much lower yields, and they also had to sort a lot, so they ended up with fewer grapes, but the result was a much more elegant wine. 24,090 bottles and 900 magnums were produced in 2015. It was bottled in September 2017.

Learn more about Dominio de Atauta

The Atauta valley holds almost 600 plots of tinto fino that phylloxera never reached, more than a century old, and the winery works with them.

Miguel Sánchez, a wine merchant born in Soria, founded it in 1999. It sits seven kilometres south of San Esteban de Gormaz, almost at the eastern edge of Ribera del Duero, in a valley with more than five centuries of vines.

In the late 2000s it was bought by the Avante Selecta group, today Terra Selecta, which also owns Viñas del Cénit.

This wine comes from 25 terroirs spread between the valley floor and the plateau, from 940 to 1,010 metres. The soils range from calcareous sands with pebbles to sandy loam and clay, all over limestone bedrock that appears between 0.7 and 2 metres down.

It is made terroir by terroir in wooden vats and concrete tanks, choosing the vessel to suit each one, and ages sixteen months in French oak barrels.
