There’s nothing like a good Albariño with fresh seafood. Albarinño wines are crispy, bone-dry and aromatic, they are packed with flavors of white peach, apricot, melon, pineapple and honeysuckle and a crispy saltiness which is related to their terroir.

Dominio do Bibei “A Return to the Past”

Dominio do Bibei was founded in 2000 by Javier Dominguez brother of fashion designer Adolfo Dominquez , the wines are supervised by the famous Priorat tamdem -Sara Peréz (daughter of José Luis Peréz, Mas Martinet) and René Barbier Junior ( son of Clos Mogador´s founder). 2005 was the first vintage released by Javier and his team.
Dominio de Bibei based on the western part of the Ourense province, is an ambitious project based on ancestral farming, looking to express the terroir of the Ribeira Sacra through a natural winemaking approach.
Vinification is achieved in different sized wood and concrete and natural yeasts are used. Reds are made mainly from Mencía, Garnacha Tintorera, Brancellao and Mouraton (the latter two being local varieties unique to the region) and whites come from Godello plus a bit of Doña Blanca and Albarino which cuttings came from famous producer Do Ferreiro.

The Balearic Islands are located to the east of the Iberian Peninsula in the western Mediterranean Sea.  Each of the four largest Balearic Islands – Mallorca, Ibiza, Formentera and Menorca – have land under vines, although the only island with a significant wine production is Mallorca. Prior to the dawn of phylloxera in Europe, Mallorca was famed for its sweet- now died out Malmsey wine, produced from the omnipresent Malvasia grape found across the Mediterranean.
Over the past 15 years great changes have occurred in the Mallorcan wine industry. International varieties that were once non-existent now appears with increasing rate across the island’s vineyards (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot) along with  most important  local varieties (Callet, Manto Negro, Fogoneu, and Moll) and some Inland´s original grapes  (Tempranillo and Monastrell ), are now the mainstay of production here. A new generation of winemakers is giving the wines of the island a new sense of terroir, resulting in genuine delicious good wines, pleasing the palate of today´s most inquisitive wine snobs.
Commonly, wines from Balearic Islands offer superb value, minerality and a rich, vibrant fruitiness; best red wines can be full-bodied, powerful and long lived.

Grenache appears to have originated in Spain, most likely in the northern province of Aragon, and ampelographers believe that Grenache was the based of Aragon’s excellent vin rouge du pays. From Aragon, it spread throughout the vineyards of Spain and the Mediterranean along with the reach of the kingdom of Aragon. Back in the 80’s garnacha vast vineyards were desolated, there was a period of dormancy but recently the precious grape has given power and prestige to reconquer “the Crown of Opulence”.

Grenache- Garnacha is undaubtfully the second best red grape from Spain. Responsible for some of the most delicious and expensive wine of Spain from newly exalted regions like Campo de Borja, Madrid and Mentrida to cult Priorat & Monsant wine country, Grenache is just as important in the Spanish wine world as Tempranillo. The noble grape’s profile includes weak colour, soft tannins, and high alcohol content. Red wines made 100% from old grenache varietal commonly smelt of sweet mulberries, black cherries, violet petals, liquid chocolate, and plums liqueur with a peculiar touch of cinammon.
