Dominio de Atauta 2020 750 ML

The Atauta Valley is located at the very beginning of the Ribera del Duero appellation and only 50 km. away from the birthplace of the Duero river in the province of Soria at 1.000 meters above the sea level. This western-most valley of Ribera del Duero is highly eroded, with diverse soil profiles and depths, all within the relatively small dimension of 4 km long by 1 km wide.
The estate is made up of 15 ha. under direct ownership and 30 ha. of vineyards of partner growers that have owned and farmed small parcels in the valley for several generations . The years of experience and hard work in this area have helped us to get to intricately know the singular characteristics of each of our more than 500 micro-plot vineyards. Each plot is managed individually maintaining a maximum respect of its unique essence and characteristics. Average vine age is between 120 to 140 years, with many pre-phylloxera, own-rooted vineyard sites.
The valley has a continental climate with a Mediterranean influence that is characterized by very long and rigorous winters and by short and hot summers.
