General Information
Todo o Nada por Dominio de Atauta 2018 is a blend of grapes from vines between 60 and 80 years old grown in chiefly sandy soils in the part of Ribera del Duero in the province of Soria (75%), to give it finesse and subtlety, and grapes from vines between 25 and 40 years old cultivated in clayey soils in the part of Ribera del Duero in the province of Burgos (25%), to provide structure and volume. A red made exclusively for Vinoselección and aged for 12 months in French oak.
Dominio de Atauta (2000) is a boutique winery with a small output (100,000 bottles per year) and a very close relationship with nature. It is located in the easternmost part of the Denominación, in Soria, where there are fewer wineries. Its vineyards, which surround the facilities in the same valley, are divided into more than 500 micro-plots of Tempranillo grown in different types of soils that afford the grapes a rich complexity.
The vines grow at a very high altitude: 1,000 metres, where contrasts in temperature are even more accentuated, leading to fresher, subtler and more aromatic wines. They have an added value: their age. Many are 150 years old, dating from before the phylloxera epidemic, and produce very low yields. The winery goes in for traditional and sustainable grape-growing practices and only uses organic products, and all work is performed manually.

The winery facilities stand on a hillside on a sloping terrain and are built at different levels so that gravity is used to move the grapes through the various stages, with no need for mechanical pump-overs. The wines produced here represent the most up-to-date version of Ribera. In 2004 Dominio de Atauta established a new winery beside its facilities: Atalayas de Golbán, which makes wine from grapes grown not only in the Valley of Atauta, but in the whole area of San Esteban de Gormaz and other parts of Ribera del Duero.
The winery
Located in the province of Soria, near the eastern edge of the D.O. Ribera del Duero, Dominio de Atauta has been producing some of the best red wines of the region since the year 2000, crafted from vines aged between 60 and 160 years, many of them pre-phylloxera and with low -but outstanding- yields. The quality of its vineyard (23 hectares of its own vines and as many controlled), the uniqueness of the area where it is located -the Atauta Valley, at almost a thousand meters above sea level- and the unwavering commitment to biodynamics result in exceptional wines with a distinctive personality.
Part of the Terraselecta group, which encompasses eight wineries at the national level, Dominio de Atauta is one of the most representative members of the society thanks to its remarkable work in the Atauta Valley, on the eastern limits of the D.O. Ribera del Duero. A winery integrated into its surroundings and built on four levels of rock, allowing gravity to facilitate tasks during the winemaking process.
