Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume. 90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines. 80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws. 70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine. 60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors. 50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable. 1982 was the year when Michael Jackson released Thriller, the movie E.T. premiered in cinemas around the world, and it was the year when Ribera del Duero received its DO status. The region started with only 9 wineries and 8.000 hectares of vineyards, but the development was fast. Rapidly Ribera developed into one of the most famous regions in the world producing some of the most highly regarded wines in the world. This might make you wonder: Why? Why was this place able to move past so many other established regions to reach the top? I wanted to find out myself and the best way to do that is to go there. The Consejo Regulador made this trip possible, so this video is supported by Ribera del Duero DO I arrived in Madrid and drove up north towards Ribera del Duero. The region is located on the Meseta Central, the plateau that covers a large part of the Iberian Peninsula. Location and high altitude are important factors for the climatic conditions in the region. Even though the region is just 250 km away from the Atlantic the climatic conditions are continental with Mediterranean influences, and the growing conditions are rough and marked by extremes. Annually the temperatures range from -20 degrees to + 42 degrees Celsius, which means that the vines might freeze in winter and suffer from heat stress in summer. I layered my clothes as it was cool in the morning but heated up quickly in the afternoon. Ribera is one of the few regions where you can get frost right before harvest. The danger is present throughout the whole year apart from a few months in summer. The temperature differences are accentuated by the high altitude – the highest plots are at 1100 meters. The sunlight is intense up here and I was squinting whenever I wasn’t wearing my sunglasses. My first visit to the region was to Dominio de Atauta. The winery is located at 1000 meters above sea level in one of the highest parts of Ribera. Even if it is a remote place it has a long history of winemaking, evidenced by the old wine cellars of the village that are not in use anymore but still tell stories of a different period in Ribera. There also isn’t much rainfall and the vines have to dig deep to survive the hot summer. To make the growing conditions even more extreme the wind blows pretty much constantly, further desiccating the soils and vines. These extremes impact the character of the wine and help produce dark, concentrated, and aromatic red wines from Tempranillo. It is Ribera’s flagship varietal as roughly 95% of the region’s vineyards are planted to Tinta del País or Tinto Fino, as the grape variety is called in the region. The red wines from Ribera have a lot of personality. For me they differentiate themselves from other Tempranillos by their dark color, their bright fruit flavor, and their structure. The high altitude just makes the wine taste fresh and the tannins come out more grippy. Other grape varieties grow here. For D.O. reds, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Garnacha can also be used.
