About Dominio de Es Viñas Viejas de Soria

There are wines that make their entrance with the gravitas of an opera... and others that arrive like an intriguing conversation you didn't know you needed. This one seems to belong to the latter category, but a little time in the glass reveals a depth of complexity that is not immediately apparent.

In the quieter reaches of the Soria segment of the Ribera del Duero, in Atauta, Dominio de Es operates with a rather uncommon philosophy in the wine world. Here, wine isn't "made"; a landscape is listened to. And when the landscape has character, the result requires no embellishment.

The story begins more as an excavation than a viticultural project. In the late 1990s, Bertrand Sourdais encountered what seemed less like a conventional vineyard and more like a scattered puzzle: 41 micro-plots distributed as if someone had decided to leave the territory in pieces without reassembling them. Small fragments of land, each with its own personality—sand, limestone, clay, silt, gravel—all situated at over 950 metres above sea level.

Educated in Bordeaux and with experience at estates such as Château Mouton Rothschild or alongside Álvaro Palacios, Sourdais—a fifth-generation vigneron at Domaine de Pallus—found in Soria (Castilla y León) a place where his sensibilities could work unfiltered. An extreme territory that softens nothing, but in return offers a stark clarity. And therein lies the key to the project. It isn't about simplification, but about understanding how to fit different pieces together without losing their identity.

The vines, many pre-phylloxera and bush-trained, have survived for decades—sometimes centuries—under extreme conditions. Here, the plant doesn't grow comfortably. On the contrary, it adapts, endures, hardens. And that resilience is ultimately transformed into texture, tension, and energy within the wine.

Then comes the most delicate moment: the blending.

Dominio de Es Viñas Viejas de Soria is not a single-parcel wine, but something closer to an orchestrated dialogue among many voices. 41 micro-plots, each with its own character, come together to construct a whole that seeks not uniformity, but coherence in its diversity.

The foundation is tinto fino, accompanied by albillo mayor and small percentages of traditional varieties such as garnacha or alicante bouschet. All sourced from old vines that are unfamiliar with the concept of haste.

In the winery, the philosophy follows precisely the same line. Long macerations, minimal interventions, a small percentage of whole clusters, and ageing in French oak Burgundy barrels adjusted according to each vintage. Nothing superfluous, everything essential.

The result is approximately 8,000 bottles in typical vintages. Few, not by strategy, but because the vineyard imposes its own limits.

And the most intriguing aspect is that, despite all this complexity, Dominio de Es Viñas Viejas de Soria does not seek to impose itself. It opens gradually, with a disarming calm. Like those people who seem discreet at first and, before you know it, end up revealing more than you expected.

2019

2017 2017 has been defined by widespread frosts in the north of Spain, but Ribera del Duero Soriana has been saved by the usual late budding of the vineyard. The winter was dry and not too cold, which was followed by a somewhat atypical spring with slightly higher temperatures and little rain. Budding was staggered, and flowering was rapid and quite early. A summer heat wave at the end of June caused a water shortage and slowed down the growth of the grapes. Then, in July, temperatures dropped and it rained, which helped rehydrate the grapes. The veraison happened slowly, due to cool temperatures at night. The grapes were harvested between September 21 and 23. According to Bertrand Sourdais: “The wines combine intensity and ripeness with an organic quality due to minimum cold temperatures and summer rains. A precise vintage thanks to extremely fast flowering.”
2015 Dominio de Es Viñas Viejas de Soria 2015 is a fresh, complex and mature wine. An excellent vintage with a great balance between maturity and freshness.

2014 Dominio de Es Viñas Viejas de Soria 2014 is a deep, mature wine, with minerality and freshness. A very good vintage, where the expression of the fruit takes more prominence, especially on the nose. In the mouth, it stands out more for its robustness and the good balance between maturity and freshness.
