Devon Magee, JJ Buckley, December 2011

Ruby in color, this wine exudes notes of wild strawberry and raspberry on the nose. Behind this seductive fruit lies a more muscular mineral note of crushed slate. The core of deliciously ripe, fresh fruit continues on the palate, all while the sturdy mineral foundation builds around the fruit, creating a wine of uniquely delicate yet powerful structure. This is delicious now with air and will certainly benefit from at least another couple of years in bottle. Spain's answer to Burgundy.

The 2007 Lalama offers a similar aromatic profile but on the palate is richer and more layered while cannily combining elegance and power. Its finish is long and velvety.

Tradition and respect for the past is what Dominio do Bibei, under the leadership of Javier Dominguez, seems to be all about. There is no stainless steel here, with cement and various sizes of wood utilized to contain the wine. There are approximately 100 acres of vines under cultivation, both red and white. -Jay Miller

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, October 2011

(85% mencia, 7% garnacha, 6% brancello and 2% mouraton): Bright ruby. Extremely fresh, mineral-accented red berry and floral aromas are complicated by sexy Asian spices and incense. Lively and precise in the mouth, with energetic raspberry and cherry flavors lifted by tangy acidity. Shows very good clarity and snap on the finish, leaving behind cherry and star anise notes. -JR

About Winery

Dominio do Bibei is located in the Quiroga-Bibei sub zone of the Ribeira Sacra D.O. Like all Ribeira Sacra sub zones, this area is one of spectacular mountain ranges and following rivers, but it is drier and harsher than the others. Javier Dominguez is the brainchild of this crazy adventure to recapture a once grand vineyard.  

Old terraces are being restructured and new plantings are afoot. Dominio do Bibei is a 125 hectare estate with approximately 45 hectares planted today.
