La Mala is an Estate wine made in Bodegas Dominio de Atauta. It reveals the personality of an estate located in the Atauta Valley that has a depth of only 0.7 m up to the layer of calcareous rock. Because of this shallow depth, each vine’s yield is extremely low. This, together with the soil’s special characteristics, provides one of the most interesting wines made by the bodega. The plot of land takes its name precisely from the low yield of its vines, which formerly was considered unprofitable and, therefore, called ‘La Mala’ (the bad one).

[0] => Black cherry colour. This is an aromatic wine with a wide variety of aromas of herbs, such as lavender, rosemary and camomile, combined with ripe red and black forest fruit and slight hints of coffee and spices. It has a smooth and aromatic mid-palate accompanied by a tannin with a fine granular texture. Good acidity and balance.
