Sandjord på kalksten dyrket i næsten 1000 meters højde. Buskvin, gammel, over 150 år gammel og tro mod roden. 2 små parceller. Ekstremt klima mellem kogende varme og frostkolde nætter. Håndplukket, overvejende afstilket Tinto Fino med små bær. Spontangæret i træ og en smule i stål, lagret i næsten 2 år på fransk eg med kun 15% nyt træ. Aftappet ufiltreret og uraffineret. Mørk kirsebærrød farve med sorte refleksioner. Enorm duft med stor elegance, trods de store forskelle mellem dag og nat ingen marmelade, men total scgliff. Sorte kirsebær, cassis, brombær, hyldebær. Violet og forglemmigej, syren. Kridt og hvid peber. Høj mineralitet og salt i næsen. Sikke en skønhed! Sikke en strålende balance og harmoni fra den sandede jordbund. Fløjl og silke i den intense, men ikke anstrengende mund, et genialt saftigt flow, cremet, charmerende, hedonistisk lækker. Ingen ru kanter, simpelthen fuld af charme og overvældende i sin silkeagtighed.

Den enestående årgang 2022 betragtes i Spanien som en historisk milepæl. På trods af rekordvarme imponerer vinene takket være kølige sommernætter med forbløffende lave pH-værdier, spektakulær syrefreshhed og silkeagtige tanniner – en storslået, perfekt afbalanceret tæthed på højde med den store Bordeaux-årgang.

Galloni om: Dos Fincas Tempranillo

The 2022 Dos Fincas blends fruit from the estate’s two finest sandy-soil sites in Atauta, Ribera del Duero. In a winery best known for its single-parcel wines, this blend revives Ribera’s historic tradition of assembling sites to build complexity rather than isolate origin. After blending, the wine was aged for up to 22 months in barrel. Aromatically bright, it shows fresh plum, blackberry and wild herbs, with balsamic notes that lift the fruit. Equally expressive on the palate, with grippy tannins, chalky texture, energy and power, it moves with a lightly juicy, polished feel. Sexy and layered, this is a blend that proves complexity in Ribera can still come from the dialogue between vineyards.

Parker om: Dos Fincas Tempranillo

The second vintage of a new blend from their two best terroirs, both on sandy soils, the 2022 Dos Fincas comes from ungrafted vines whose grapes were destemmed but not crushed and fermented in 5,000-liter oak vats, and the wine aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, 15% of them new. From those barrels, they selected the best, and after being blended, that selection continued to complete an élevage of 18 months in barrels. The aromatics are similar to those from the other 2022s, but the difference is the finesse in the palate, the silkiness of the texture and the elegance of the tannins. It feels fresher and with better balance and elegance. It has 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.68 and 4.95 grams of acidity. 4,524 numbered bottled were filled in August 2024.

Tim Atkin om: Dos Fincas Tempranillo

Dos Fincas is something of a moveable feast, as it's sourced from what the Dominio de Atauta team considers to be its two vineyards in any given vintage. This is a compact, serious, layered Tempranillo that has the concentration and intensity of a Cornas, with inky depths, liquorice, damson and black olive flavours and toasty 15% new wood.

Suckling om: Dos Fincas Tempranillo

Plums, red cherries and chestnuts on the nose, with chalk and mineral tension. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with chalky, tense tannins and bright, delineated fruit, showing both red tones and crunchy blue fruit. Very focused and vibrant. Already delicious but will evolve favorably.
