Ribeira Sacra DO 2017 Dominio do Bibei

Dominio do Bibei from the winery of the same name is a red wine produced with a blend of Brancellao and Mouraton, from vineyards located between 250 and 550 meters above sea level, on soils composed of schist and disintegrated slate. The vines grown in the Ribeira Sacra area of Galicia are between 10 and 60 years old.

The harvest is done manually during the first week of October. The vinification begins with a 3-day pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation in open French oak barrels. The malolactic fermentation then takes place in smaller barrels, while the refinement continues for 15 months in used barrels and a further 6 months in large barrels, always without any filtration.

With an intense ruby red color, this wine offers a complex bouquet of red and dark berries, flowers, spices and a hint of leather to the nose. On the palate it offers hints of red and dark fruit, accompanied by spicy nuances and a lively minerality that gives freshness and depth to the sip.

It pairs perfectly with game dishes, red meats or grilled meats.
