| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThis wine wants to show the concentration and complexity of the grapes and vineyards produced in our area while at the same time maintaining an approachable style that is pleasing to all wine lovers. It is crafted from a selection of grapes from very old vineyards located on the sandy and rocky soils which are characteristic of the Atauta Valley.\r\nThe 2018 Parada de Atauta is full-bodied, powerful and very young, with abundant tannins. It's a fresh and balanced vintage with good tension and full ripeness of the grapes in a slightly longer cycle. It has more black fruit and good tension, with the finesse of the sandy soils they use for this wine.\r\nRobert Parker 92 Points\r\nAbout Ribera del Duero\r\nRibera del Duero is located in northen Spain\u2019s Castilla y Le\u00f3n region, just a 2-hour drive from Madrid. While winemaking in this area goes back more than 2000 years, it was in the 1980s that 9 wineries applied for and were granted Denominaci\u00f3n de Origen (d.o.) status. Today, more than 300 wineries call Ribera del Duero home, including some of Spain\u2019s most iconic names.\r\nNotable Facts\u00a0Ribera\u2019s main grape variety,\u00a0Tempranillo, locally know as Tinto Fino, is perfectly suited to the extreme climate of the region, where it must survive scorching summers and frigid winters. Low yields resulting from conscientious tending to old vines planted in Ribera\u2019s diverse soils types, give Ribera wines a distinctive depth and complexity not found in other Tempranillos. Rich and full-bodied, the spice, dark fruit and smoky flavors in a bold Ribera del Duero will pair well with roasted and grilled meats, Mexican food and tomato-based sauces. |
