2019 | Bodegas Atalaya | La Atalaya del Camino

Intensely fragrant nose of spices, dried herbs, olives and dark fruit. Plushly textured tannins give richness and length to the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: I also tasted the 2019 La Atalaya del Camino, from a vintage that was marked by torrential rains from the DANA cold spell of September. The parameters were very similar to the 2018, 15% alcohol and a pH of 3.68 and higher acidity, 6.3 grams. It has the balsamic and herbal note of tomato vine and leaf, ripe and juicy, round and full-bodied with abundant, round tannins, rounder than those from the 2018. 54,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2021. Best after 2022.

Producer Information

Bodegas Atalaya was founded in 2007 by the Gil Family with the focus on producing wines from Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell, the area’s most emblematic grape varieties. Since the first vintage, the goal has been to reflect the character and genuine essence of the land and the grape. The winery and vineyards are located in the eastern part of Albacete, between Valencia, Alicante and Murcia, a transitional zone between the Castillian meseta (plateau) and the Mediterranean Sea. The vineyards are located on poor soils, rich in limestone, at an altitude of 2300-3300 ft. The area has a continental climate with very low rainfall (less than 14 inches/year) which creates the perfect conditions to keep yields low, lending to high quality fruit with great concentration of color and flavor. The vineyards are all dry farmed without the use of pesticides or herbicides.
