Buy Wine from Dominio do Bibei
Dominio do Bibei is located in the denomination of origin of the Ribeira Sacra, more specifically in Cabeza de Manzaneda, named after the river that runs through it: the Bibei. The winery dates back to 2000 and was founded by a local businessman of the area who has a dynamic team formed by a small group of young Galicians who will be helped from the beginning by one of the most relevant couples of the Priorat wine scene, we are referring to Sara Pérez and René Barbier Jr.
Dominio do Bibei has about 100 hectares of old vines settled on granitic and slate soils with a poor surface in organic matter and where clay predominates; before starting to elaborate it was necessary to carry out a previous work of detoxification and recovery of the vineyard that besides being abandoned had also been very punished by the use of systemic products; this vineyard is located at altitudes ranging from 300 to 670 meters above sea level. It is populated by Mencia, Mouratón, Brancellao, Sousón, Garnacha, Godello and Albariño.
In their way of elaborating there is a phrase that defines them well "the eyes of a child and the hands of an old man"; this is the way of wanting to express the illusion of the youth that they possess but also the respect for the tradition. The winery is built in a unique way, taking advantage of the different slopes of the land and integrating into the natural landscape and thus taking advantage of gravity for many of its processes. In winemaking they use from truncated cone-shaped tanks to cement "eggs" and as proof of their evolutionary process, they are currently conducting tests for the production of wines without added sulfites.
Dominio do Bibei 's most outstanding wines are: Lapola, a white wine aged in wood but retaining the Atlantic freshness and with a slightly bitter and elegant finish; Lapena, a serious and complex Godello single varietal in which minerality gains weight over fruit aromas; Lalama a blend of the different red grapes with which they work with a necessary time in bottle before leaving the winery, a factor that gives it finesse, expressiveness and the possibility of appreciating its potential; Lacima is a deep Mencía single-varietal with an excellent balance between acidity, fruit, alcohol and minerality.
Dominio do Bibei: no rush...no pauses...with Atlantic pride!
