Product Description
Details

The wine Lalume is probably the most characterful of all bodega Dominio do Bibei’s whites.

This blended Spanish white wine is mostly made from Treixadura, with a small percentage of Albariño and a dollop of Caíño Blanco and Godello. The grapes are sourced from 10 to 30-year old vineyards grown in sábrego soils – a type of coarse granitic sand – in the Avia, Arnoia and Miño valleys, in the heart of DO Ribeiro.

After a meticulous harvest, this Crianza white wine was drawn-off and spontaneously fermented in oak barrels, wooden vats, concrete eggs and stainless steel tanks.

The first half of the ageing process was carried out in the fermentation containers. After that, the white wine Lalume 2020 was aged on lees in stainless steel tanks and for a substantial period of time in the bottle before hitting the market. It did not go through malolactic fermentation.

Be sure to decant this white wine from Ribeiro before drinking. Best served at 9-12ºC.

Nose

This blend of Treixadura, Albariño, Caíño blanco and Godello is information-rich and ever-evolving, with a citrusy and salty note, hints of salt and moss and aromas of white flowers, quince jelly and exotic spices.

Palate

Polished and richly layered, this wine of Dominio do Bibei shows impressive precision and refinement, perfectly balancing an unmistakable local character with a cosmopolitan flair. Very long finish with an aftertaste of citrus, sea salt and flowers.

Our personal opinion

If you like structured and elegant whites judiciously aged in oak, you should definitely try the wine Lalume 2020.
