Valle de Atauta Experience

The visit begins in the winery with a brief explanation of the site. From there, a tour through the vineyard in a vehicle owned by the winery along which the following stops will be made:

A viewpoint from where you can see El Plantío, a group of 141 wineries and 25 presses excavated in limestone. They were built for the most part during the 19th century, although the first records of the existence of vineyards in the area date back to 1201.

We visited small plots of 120-year-old goblet vines standing at 1,050 meters above sea level. Spacing in this small goblet vineyard, known as Punto Alto, easily extends to two meters or more between rows and vines. Pruned vines rise no higher than a foot from the ground, a necessary precaution in this land of severe cold, drought, and frost. The vineyard itself could barely be half a hectare in size and the yields, below 20 hl/ha, are pyrrhic

Then we will move to La Roza, which is a vineyard made up of 2.29 hectares of 165-year-old vines distributed in 19 plots. Within all of them, three plots of 0.24 ha and 689 vines stand out for their quality.
 In the recovery plan for La Roza, it has been necessary to carry out actions such as fencing the plots to reduce damage from the different animals that inhabit the valley or progressively incorporating organic matter into the soil.

And back at the winery we will taste 4 wines that you can accompany with a plate of gourmet Manchego cheeses from the 1605 cheese factory.
