PARADA DE ATAUTA 2021

A lot of fruit with an incredibly silky and elegant mouthfeel

Parada de Atauta is born out of the sandy soils of the Valley. It is the most subtle and elegant version of the tinto fino.

Fresh, youthful and fleshy in the mouth, with a good concentration of red and black fruit, all of it accompanied with soft tannins.

Average age of the vines: 90 to 120 years

From 950 to 1.000 meters in moorland areas.
Selection of plots of land with sandy soils mixed with pebbles over calcareous rock.

“Average vintage” performance with rainfall and temperatures slightly above the average of the last 20 years, but undoubtedly marked by the storm ‘Filomena’ which, apart from the heavy snowfall, caused temperatures to plummet for 10 days and had consequences, freezing some of the lower and weaker vines in the valley. average vintage” behavior with rainfall and temperatures slightly above the average of the last 20 years, but undoubtedly marked by the storm ‘Filomena’ which, apart from the heavy snowfall, caused temperatures to plummet for 10 days, which had consequences, freezing some of the lower and weaker vines in the valley.

These will be wines of great balance, with lots of fruit and an opulent and fresh mouthfeel in equal parts.

This wine is made out of a selection of very old vineyards which provide a better maturation and a further fruity intensity. The vinification process is carried out in villages using concrete and stainless-steel vats.

Malolactic fermentation is carried out in wooden vats and then aged during 13-14 months in French Oak barrels and another 4 months in vats.

Lively deep red cherry color with violet reflections. Intense aromas of violets, thyme and rosemary under a light background of ripe red fruit.

Silkiness and freshness dominate a mouth with ripe red and black fruit flavors perfectly assembled with incredibly silky tannins with and a mineral and fresh finish.
