This is an outstanding wine from Dominio do Bibei, the dazzling star of the steeply terraced vineyards in the Ribera Sacra. This wine is characterized by great elegance, depth, and balance. It reveals an expressive bouquet of vibrant red fruits, floral nuances, and hints of spices and herbs, all of which linger gracefully on the palate with a long finish. The grapes were hand-harvested from various plots with quartz slate and chipped slate soils, coming from vines aged 15 to 65 years. The grapes were then hand-selected in the winery, destemmed, and fermented in oak with indigenous yeasts. The wine aged for 24 months in third-generation French barriques and then for a further 6 months in larger fermenters. Pairs well with: all types of meat, cured meats, and cheeses. Aging potential: Drink now or allow to age until 2029.
