Dominio do Bibei Lalume
A precise white wine with inviting notes of white peach and honeysuckle, balanced by a zesty acidity
Dominio do Bibei `Lalume` Ribeiro DO, Spain, is a precise, barrel-fermented dry White wine crafted primarily from Treixadura, with contributions from Albariño, Godello, Loureiro, Torrontes, and Caíño Blanco. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in a combination of used barrels, oak foudres, concrete eggs, and stainless steel, it undergoes ageing on fine lees. This still white wine offers inviting aromas of white peach, nectarine, honeysuckle, and delicate herbs. On the palate, it presents a medium body with a lightly oily texture, beautifully balanced by a zesty acidity that leads to a long, refreshing finish. Its versatile character makes it an excellent companion to a wide array of dishes, from lean fish to poultry and vegetarian options.

Vinification
The grapes were hand-picked into 10 kg cases. The fruit was sorted once in the vineyard, and a second time upon arrival at the winery. The grapes were cooled overnight before being whole bunch pressed. Each parcel was vinified separately. The wine was fermented using only indigenous yeasts in a combination of used barrels, oak foudres, concrete eggs, and stainless steel tanks. The ageing process began in each fermentation vessel. The second half of the ageing process was carried out in stainless steel tanks in contact with fine lees.
