The wine

La Roza takes the elegance of the fine red wine to a higher step, and has everything that from Dominio de Atauta look for in its terroir wines: an unusual quality and a unique personality. In the nose we can feel that we are in the middle of that oak forest, surrounded by thyme and wild lavender. In the mouth we feel the tremendous elegance that we expect from that poor and sandy soil that covers our silk mouth.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The very few times I have been able to taste the wine from the zone of Atauta that they call La Roza I have been invariably impressed, and the 2014 La Roza came though as the most attractive, perfumed, floral and elegant of the crus from 2014. Unfortunately, this comes from three tiny parcels of ancient vines that represent 0.24 hectares, and the pricing surely reflects scarcity—but also quality. This is elegant and seamless but does not lack power, the palate is medium-bodied and the tannins very fine, with a characteristic silkiness that seems to be a constant in this wine. Moving the élevage to 100% used barrels seems like a very good move, as all the wines show very neat integration of the wood with the fruit. The work here is very detailed; they seem to know each of the 779 vines that are planted in these three plots that always deliver something special. The bad news (beside the price) is that there are only 373 bottles of this wine, so chances of finding one are going to be slim. It was bottled in June 2016.

The winery

Dominio de Atauta

Dominio de Atauta

The Dominio de Atauta winery is located in the Atauta valley in the province of Soria in central Spain. They own 21 hectares of vines and supervise another 22, meaning they manage around 600 plots altogether at altitudes of over 1000 metres. The winery's goal is to demonstrate the full potential of their pre-phylloxera Tinto Fino vines with ages ranging between 85 and 150 years old. The Atauta valley has a history of over 500 years of winemaking in extremely severe conditions,...
