Dominio de Atauta is built on rock on a valley slope, surrounded by vineyards. It slopes down four levels towards the valley, which allows us to make our wines using gravity without damaging the excellent raw material.
The grapes are always harvested by hand and arrive on the upper floor, from where they fall by gravity into the tanks located on the next floor. On the third level is the barrel warehouse, where there are about 600 French oak barrels.
The Atauta region has vestiges of a rich wine-making past, including El Plantío, a collection of 141 wineries and 25 wine presses dug into limestone. Most of them were built during the 19th century, although the first records of the existence of vineyards in the area date back to 1201.
