Dominio de Atauta 2016 Magnum
Descripción
Dominio de Atauta se elabora a partir de una mezcla de viñedos ubicados en laderas que llegan a alcanzar los 160 años de edad. Posee gran potencial e intensidad, con un final en boca largo, fresco y con una acertada acidez y equilibrio. La añada 2016 es una de las más grandiosas de los últimos años en Ribera del Duero, y entrega un vino con notas de frutos rojos, hierbas aromáticas y con un paso potente y elegante.

Maridaje
Curry de cordero estilo Madras
En este plato se mezclan el sabor potente de la carne con el picante especiado y el dulzor untuoso de la leche de coco. Necesitamos un tinto con buena acidez, frescura y notas especiadas.

Opinión de los críticos
Soria in the east of Ribera del Duero is characterised by old vines (many pre-phylloxera) at high altitude. Miguel Sanchez owns 25ha here, farmed biodynamically, but also buys from small growers. This wine is sourced from 600 separate parcels of 60- to 120-year-old vines grown on clay, loam and sandy soils over calcareous bedrock, imparting a mineral freshness to this accomplished red. Warm and mellow black fruits on the nose, with an earthy edge plus brighter cherry and herbal notes. A ripe and brambly attack gives way to a more linear mid-palate, with fresh acidity and some chewiness on the finish along with notes of liquorice, cedar and herbs. Offers real vibrancy and sense of place: bravo!
The eponymous red 2016 Dominio de Atauta, the first vintage of winemaker Jaime Suárez, was truly impressive, bringing to mind the first vintages of the winery that broke the stereotype of concentrated and oaked Ribera del Duero in search of more freshness and showcasing the amazing but then unknown vineyards of the village of Atauta in the cooler part of the appellation in the province of Soria. It's a step up from the Parada de Atauta, with more depth and power, perhaps a little more ripeness too, and a tender and balanced mouthfeel with very integrated acidity. A tad more freshness would have been ideal... 59,637 bottles and 1,440 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2018.
