About Dominio de Atauta Albillo Mayor

In Herman Melville's renowned novel "Moby Dick" (1851), Captain Ahab likens the pursuit of the mythical white whale to the arduous task of finding a needle in a haystack, due to the vastness and peril of the ocean. This same sense of exclusivity and rarity is evoked when discovering Dominio de Atauta Albillo Mayor, the sole white wine from Dominio de Atauta, emerging as a rare find amidst a sea of reds, in Ribera del Duero (Castilla y León).

Dominio de Atauta Albillo Mayor is no ordinary wine. This albillo mayor is cultivated in pre-phylloxera vines, some boasting over 138 years of history, situated at an altitude of 940 metres, in unique terroirs such as La Mala, Valdegatiles, and Llanos del Almendro. A place where conditions are ideal for this exceptional wine, distinguished by its complexity and uniqueness in a landscape dominated by red varieties.

The magic behind Dominio de Atauta Albillo Mayor lies in the meticulous work of two eminent figures: Ismael Sanz, responsible for viticulture, and Jaime Suárez, responsible for oenology. Together, they form a perfect partnership, infusing passion and dedication into every step of the process, from vineyard to winery. Their approach translates into careful vinification, employing various strategies such as direct pressing, skin maceration, and ageing on lees in 600L barrels of various uses for 6 months.

The outcome is Dominio de Atauta Albillo Mayor, a white wine that is not only a gem for its rarity but also for its ability to offer a unique sensory experience, with the depth and elegance of the most complex wines. An exceptional discovery that, like the needle in the haystack, can only be truly appreciated by genuine wine connoisseurs.
