About Dominio Do Bibei
Dominio do Bibei
With the aim of recovering the purest winemaking tradition of the Ribeira Sacra, Dominio do Bibei makes great wines in an almost artisanal way.
Wines made in a place chosen by the monks for their life of prayer and work. These are the valleys through which the river Bibei flows, the same valleys that saw how the Romans executed important hydraulic engineering works for the exploitation of the mines of Las Medulas and the Montefurado tunnel; also responsible for the introduction of viticulture in this Galician region.
The Bodegas Dominio do Bibei winery, in the DO Ribeira Sacra, produces a new and elegant wine every year, because every year they obtain a different grape, a grape that grows on a soil dominated by an Atlantic climate. A soil that was shaped by the hands of the winegrower. Hands that gave the land silhouettes that still today cut out the steep slopes, achieving terraced vineyards terraces trying to tame the abrupt orography of the Ribeira Sacra. The vineyards of Dominio do Bibei, ranging in age from 15 years to those that boast of being centenarians, are located at altitudes between 300 and 670 metres above sea level, on a rocky base of granite and slate, in acid soils, poor in organic matter, and with a clayey texture. The varieties grown are: Mencia, Brancellao, Mouratón, Souson, Garnacha, Godello and Albariño.
The Dominio do Bibei winery is located in the town of Manzaneda, Ourense; it presented its first wine in 2002, although the adventure began in 2000. The underground facilities were designed to be completely integrated with the environment while minimising the visual impact, as well as being able to use bioclimatic cooling systems. They took advantage of the natural slope of the hillside to build different and independent volumes, and in this way also achieve, by the effect of gravity, the stress-free transfer of grapes, must and wine.
The wines of Dominio do Bibei, of almost artisanal production, are mainly made with two varieties, Mencía and Godello, with which the single-varietal Lacima (with a small part of Brancellao) and Lapena are made. Its red wine Lalama by Bodegas Dominio do Bibei is one of the current great and renowned Galician red wines; it contains a high percentage of Mencía complemented with Garnacha, Brancellao and Mouratón.
In its beginnings, this Galician winery had the support of Sara Pérez and René Barbier, heirs to a great family winemaking tradition in Priorat and owners of the Montsant winery, Venus La Universal. Sara runs the family winery Mas Martinet and René the Clos Mogador winery.
