Parker über: Dominio de Atauta Tempranillo

-- Parker: There is great purity and freshness in the 2021s, and the eponymous 2021 Dominio de Atauta is no exception. Produced with a selection from their best vineyards in the Atauta Valley, it is complex and has depth, good ripeness, 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.63 and 5.05 grams of acidity. They have 25 different terroirs, and this blend comes with complexity, power and elegance, reflecting the conditions of the place and the vintage, with added freshness. It fermented in 5,000-liter oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured for 13months in French oak barrels, 15% of them new, followed by another four months in oak vats to achieve a better stabilization of the wine. 2021 delivered a good crop, and they produced 58,494 bottles and 1,260 magnums. This is among the finest vintages for the cuvée. It was bottled in June 2023.

Galloni über: Dominio de Atauta Tempranillo

-- Galloni: The 2021 Dominio de Atauta comes from hillside vineyards in Atauta, Ribera del Duero, with clay and sandy soils. It was fermented in vats and aged up to 16 months in oak (15% new), followed by time in large casks. Red fruit leads the nose, with rosehip, wild herbs and a hint of nutmeg. The palate is juicy, compact and agile, where chalk sets the tone and elongates the finish. A vibrant, expressive Ribera shaped by the climatic edge of Atauta.

Suckling über: Dominio de Atauta Tempranillo

-- Suckling: Ripe red cherries, strawberries and some blue fruit and minerals. A touch of white pepper. Full and fine-boned, with chalky tannins on the palate. Long and tight, with signature Atauta tension and reactive tannins from the 130-year-old ungrafted vines in the cooler part of Ribera del Duero. Very long, juicy and minerally, if not a bit salty. Drink or hold.
