Dominio de Atauta La Mala is a rare, precious red wine from Ribera del Duero with a production that rarely surpasses 2,000 bottles per year.
A varietal Tinta Fina wine, the singularity of this product comes from the fact that it is made from grapes coming from over 130-year-old, pre-phylloxeric vines located in the rugged, harsh northern Spanish region of Soria.
The La Mala plot comprises a mere 1.5 hectares of vines planted on sandy-limestone soils. Because of their antiquity, those venerable plants are almost fused with their environment. Thus, this wine conveys a unique sense of terroir.
Crafted by the Atauta winery, the grapes were harvested by hand, selected in the vineyard and brought to the cellar in little, 12-kilogram boxes.
After that, the grapes were destemmed and, without being crushed, they were pre-fermented in stainless steel tanks for over a period of 7 days.
Then the grapes were crushed and fermented at a controlled temperature.
Finally, Dominio de Atauta La Mala 2009 was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.
