The ‘Lalume’ has intense aromas of white stone fruit leading into floral notes and a smattering of fresh herbs. The palate is dense with a lovely acidity and soft and oily texture. The finish is long and dry.

The grapes for Lalume come from different vineyards across the Avia valley, as well as the Arnoia and Mio valleys. Each vineyard benefits from different exposures, and varying altitudes from 250 to 700 metres. The most prevalent soil type is decomposed granite called Sbrego in the Ribeiro wine region. The vines vary in age from 16 to 35 years.

Since his first vintage in 2001, Javier Dominguezs Dominio do Bibei has been widely acknowledged as the driving force behind the emergence of quality wines in Spains historic Ribeira Sacra.There are far easier places to make wine than in Ribeira Sacra. But Javier Dominguez, along with his consultant winemakers, Priorats Sara Prez and Ren Barbier, are united in a common belief in this spectacular landscape, its ancient character and, most of all, its capacity to produce Spains most distinctive wines.
