Dominio de Tares

Dominio de Tares was founded in 2000 in San Román de Bembibre and was among the early estates to make Bierzo’s quality-wine potential known internationally. The winery works with the regional varieties Mencía and Godello and farms or preserves numerous small parcels, including old and partly abandoned vineyards. The vineyards lie in Bierzo Bajo and Bierzo Alto at elevations of around 400 to 800 metres. Depending on their origin, the soils range from clay and silt to mineral schist and slate. In the cellar, the estate combines hand harvesting and spontaneous fermentation with gentle ageing in wood and on the fine lees.
