Located in the picturesque village of Otero in León, Bodega y Viñedos Hija de Anibal is a remarkable wine project rooted in nostalgia and respect for the region's viticultural heritage. This winery pays homage to the past while embracing modern oenological practices, creating wines that reflect the unique terroir of Bierzo.
The vineyards here boast vines that are over a century old.
At Bodega y Viñedos Hija de Anibal, the focus is solely on Mencía grapes, a variety known for its rich flavors and aromatic complexity. The vineyards are situated in a historically significant area, offering stunning views of the Roman gold mines of Las Médulas, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the ancient Castro Bergidum. Many of the vines have survived the phylloxera epidemic of the late 19th century, thanks to the vineyard's exceptional conditions and remote location.
The winery's old vines produce low yields, resulting in wines with distinctive flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. The care taken in maintaining these ancient vines is evident in the quality of the wines produced. Although Bodega y Viñedos Hija de Anibal does not yet have its own winery, they are in the process of building one. Currently, they utilize a charming 400-year-old house for storage and wine tastings.
Visitors are welcome to enjoy tastings and learn about the winemaking process. Guests can also participate in activities such as grape harvesting and wine production, making it a unique experience for wine enthusiasts. If you're in the area, Bodega y Viñedos Hija de Anibal is a must-visit destination.

We loved the visit to the winery, as well as the tasting. It's great how they treat the grapes 🍇 and the natural wines they make. And the enthusiasm with which Elva and her family tell it! The winery staff, very top. Everyone is very nice. Vinazos! Highly recommended. It is located in the facilities of the old Alberto Ledo Winery. On Google it says that it is on Peña Picón street, but it has changed its name and is now called Estación street.

Elva, the host and owner , first of all took us to the vineyards and explained in depth about the soil, cultivation and the use of non pesticides and ploughing with mules. We then went to the Bodega to a thoroughly interesting tour and sampled 4 wines which were excellent. We bought 13 bottles on the strength of the tasting. A superb day and I would 100% recommend it. A lovely lady and lovely wines.
