Bodega y Viñedos Hija de Anibal, Located in Lovely Leon

Bodega y Viñedos Hija de Anibal is located in Otero in the province of Leon. This new wine project in the region of Bierzo was born from nostalgia, emotion, and homage, but also from the symbiosis of an invaluable viticultural legacy and oenological wisdom in shared contributions.
The vines grown at Bodega y Viñedos Hija de Anibal are more than a hundred years old.

Mencía Grapes for the Production of their Bierzo Wines

Aníbal de Otero uses only Mencía grapes for the production of their wines. The vineyards are in a beautiful location with a lot of historical significance. From the vineyard, you can see the Roman gold mines of Las Medulas, UNESCO World Heritage, the Roman Castro Bergidum, and other historical sites of Bierzo. The vines they grow are more than a hundred years old. Some of them are even survivors from the phylloxera epidemic, which killed most of the vineyards in Europe at the end of the 19th century. Their survival was possible thanks to the privileged conditions and remote location of their vineyards.
