SAN JUAN 2016
Spirit of searching beyond what is known.
Dominio de Atauta “San Juan” is born out of the commitment with a unique wine heritage. It is the result of the passion for the work of a group of people with an open spirit that is not satisfied with what is known.
Small jewel by the Atauta Valley
In a terrace with a slight south orientation, in a sub valley parallel to the Atauta Valley, we can find the Valley of San Juan. The area named San Juan, comprises 0,45 hectares of vineyards distributed in 7 plots and a total of 1.415 vines.
Very poor soil, enormous elegance
1,2 meters of sand with a very low percentage of clay and limestone, make the plant to dig its roots in the micro-breaks of the main limestone rock in search for nutrients. This poor sand will produce wines with a maximum elegance, with a subtle and delicate tannin.
The best wines, balanced vineyard
As part of the recovery plan of San Juan, it has been necessary to carry out actions such as fencing off the plots to minimize the damage of different animals that live in the valley and incorporating organic matter progressively until we find the perfect balance.
Small plot with a unique personality
To elaborate this wine, the work of a team that has pampered for years seven small plots with 140-year-old vines has been necessary.
“San Juan” is born out of the concern of a team that is not settled with what is known and takes its concern for producing terroir wines to the highest level. In the mouth it is fine, subtle and delicate, developing until it floods us with an endless perfume.
