Dominio do Bibei,
Drink now,
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. Dominio do Bibei's Javier Domínguez is producing modern wines with beautiful definition and verve, using traditional grape varieties. The vineyards are steeply terraced with little topsoil – 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.
A 100 percent Mencía farmed on step slate and granite slopes, this has been aged in foudre for seven months; crushed raspberry, black tea and cassis are all evidenced. The palate shows cool fruit, but no lack of concentration, not to mention very finely etched tannins.

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.
