Product Description
Details

Coming from DO Ribeira Sacra, the wine Lapola is produced by bodega Dominio do Bibei.

A blend of the indigenous varieties Godello (80%), Albariño (15%) and Doña Blanca (5%), this Spanish white wine is sourced from young and centenary vines planted in plots with different sun exposures. The vineyards are located at altitudes between 400 and 750 metres above sea level.

Manually harvested in little, 10-kilogram boxes, the grapes were selected at the vineyard and in the cellar. Then it was fermented in used oak barrels, egg-shaped concrete tanks and oak vats.

After that, this white wine from Ribeira Sacra was aged for 11 months in used French oak barrels and concrete tanks.

Finally, the wine Lapola 2021 was kept for 12 months in the bottle.

This blended Galician white wine was not fined before bottling.

Decant or aerate 30 minutes before drinking.

Additional Information
Appearance

The white wine Lapola is medium yellow with some greyish tinges and some golden glints.

Nose

Intriguing and complex, this blend of  Godello, Albariño and Doña Blanca shows an admirable aromatic balance. White flowers, yellow fruit, delicate toasted notes, touches of sweet spices, notions of wet earth, bitter herbs and a mineral, flint-like background.

Palate

Rich notes of white fruit and citrus, nuanced by enticing notions of honey, baked apples, wormwood, aromatic herbs, and wet leaves. There is an underlying layer of toast, and some salty touches and spices. This wine from Dominio do Bibei has a long, slightly bitter finish.

Our personal opinion

The wine Lapola 2021 proves that Ribeira Sacra is a land of great whites too.
