Viñedos y Bodegas Dominio de Tarés

Dominio de Tarés was one of the newcomers in the area attracted by the Mencía grape’s potential. Established in 2000, with its first vintage in 2001, it has not ceased producing wines with astonishing results; superb wines from the indigenous Mencía and Godello varieties; elegant and complex wines reflecting the excellence of the terroir where they come from.

Situated in the province of León, the heartland of the Mencía grape, the winery is surrounded by high-quality vineyards; old vineyards with vines between 40 and 90 years of age growing on a terroir with extraordinary potential in a privileged area; a mixture of slopes and terraces; and the soil being alluvial at river level and clay and slate on the slopes. They work 30 ha of their own vineyards as well as about the same amount of rented vineyards. At the winery, the work is carried out on the philosophy of minimal intervention in order to produce more authentic, natural, and expressive wines.
