Description
Valtravieso Finca La Atalaya is a wine that invites us to discover the richness of Ribera del Duero with every glass. Produced by Bodegas Valtravieso, a winery that has been able to value tradition and innovation in its processes, this wine is a faithful reflection of the winemaker's mastery and deep respect for nature. It is mainly composed of Tinta Fina ( 75%), complemented with Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Merlot (10%), a combination that gives it a complex and elegant personality. The Valtravieso vineyards are located at an altitude of 915 metres, which is key to understand the freshness and balanced acidity of the wine, grown in soils poor in organic matter, with a composition of limestone and stone that contributes to the characteristic minerality of this red wine.
Winemaking
Made with meticulous attention, Finca La Atalaya follows a process in which quality takes precedence over everything else. The grapes are harvested by hand, with a careful selection of grapes both in the vineyard and in the winery. After a five-day cold maceration to extract the maximum fruit aromas, the must undergoes controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with punching down and pumping over to extract tannins and colour. Subsequently, malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels, which helps to soften the acidity and enrich the aromatic profile of the wine.
Ageing takes place in French oak barrels for 16 months, providing elegant spicy and smoky notes that integrate with the fruit. During this time, periodic rackings are carried out to ensure the wine's clarity and stability. After barrel ageing, the wine rests in the bottle for at least 12 months, achieving a perfect balance and greater aromatic complexity before being released onto the market.
Taste
The first sip of Valtravieso Finca La Atalaya is an enveloping experience. The palate is powerful, with ripe tannins that provide a firm but silky structure. Its aromas evoke ripe black fruits, such as plum and blackberry, with delicate hints of sweet spices and a mineral background reminiscent of the limestone of its soils. As it evolves on the palate, one can perceive notes of cocoa and subtle toast, the result of its ageing in barrels. A wine that seduces with its elegance and balance, leaving a long and persistent finish, full of nuances.
