Dominio do Bibei,
Drink now,
This 30-hectare estate produces modern wines with beautiful definition and verve using traditional Galician grape varieties. The vineyards are steeply terraced at high altitude, up to 670 metres, and mostly farmed organically. There is little top soil here, with the old vines working hard to survive on the rocky terrain. Lalama is a blend of 90% Mencía, with the remaining 10% made up of Brancellao, Mouratón, Sousón and Garnacha Tintorera.
Incredibly elegant on the nose, this wine has bright red cherry aromas, with a fresh beetroot character and a hint of dill. Vibrant and refreshing, it has real depth and concentration with crunchy red fruit and earthy notes alongside fine, yet pert, tannins and a granitic minerality which lingers. Drink now to 2022.

Ribeira Sacra is one of the most exciting regions to emerge from Spain in recent years. Situated in the North-Eastern corner in Galicia, the area is remote, the landscape arid and mountainous. Domino do Bibei's winemaker, Javier Domínguez, is producing modern wines with beautiful definition and verve, using traditional grape varieties such as Mencia, Garnacha and Muraton for the reds and Godello, Albariño and Dona Blanca in his whites.
The vineyards are steeply terraced at high altitude, up to 670 metres. There is little top soil with the old vines working hard to survive amongst the rocky terrain of slate/schist. These are thoughtful wines which not only please but also challenge the senses through their extraordinary purity and detail. No stainless steel is used, fermentation and storage is in wood and cement. Grapes are hand harvested and are fed via a gravity system.
