Domino Del Bendito was set up by Antony in 2003 after a long search for what he considered his dream vineyards. He bought several old parcels of Tinta de Toro vines in the fabled La Jara vineyard area (pago), many of which were ungrafted, or even pre-phylloxera, protected by the very sandy soils.
Antony approaches his winemaking a little like art. He uses his different parcels of grapes as a colour palette, from which he can 'paint' his masterpieces through careful winemaking choices and blending. His passion for viticulture, and knowing that good wine can only come from good grapes, is showcased by his hand-tending and harvesting of the vines, organic production with no synthetic treatments, and everything he does being mindful of ecological and environmental sustainability.
Las Sabias comes exclusively from ungrafted, traditional vines between 45 years and 80 years old from Tinta de Toro. It is fermented in small concrete and epoxy resin tanks, and aged in French barrels between 16 and 18 months. Bold and powerful, with subtle balance and elegant fruit, this is a wine that represents the region and the grape variety.
