Good To Know: Dominio do Bibei is one of Galicia’s most acclaimed wineries, located in the rugged Ribeira Sacra region of north-west Spain. Founded in 2001, the estate tends steep, terraced vineyards planted mainly with indigenous varieties such as Mencía, Brancellao and Mouratón for reds, and Godello and Albariño for whites. Situated at elevations between 350 and 920 metres on schist, slate and granite soils, the vines are farmed by hand and the gravity-flow winery is built into the hillside to preserve the natural freshness and character of the grapes.

Their wines are admired for their purity, minerality and elegance, showcasing the distinctive terroir of Ribeira Sacra with vibrant red and dark berry fruit, floral and herbal notes, and a fresh, balanced palate. Signature labels such as *Lalama*, *Lacima*, *Lapola* and *Lalume* have become benchmarks for authentic Galician wine, making Dominio do Bibei an essential choice for those seeking distinctive, small-production Spanish reds and whites.

Dominio do Bibei Lalume 2024 is an expressive, terroir-driven white wine from Galicia’s D.O. Ribeiro, crafted primarily from Treixadura with small additions of indigenous varieties like Albariño and Godello. It opens with vibrant aromas of white orchard fruit, citrus blossom, and wild herbs, all framed by a distinct flinty minerality. On the palate, careful aging on fine lees yields a silky, textured mouthfeel balanced by energetic Atlantic acidity, concluding in a crisp, saline, and refreshing finish.
