Product Description
Details

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

Made basically from Godello, complemented with AlbariñoDoña Blanca and Treixadura, 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 600-litre oak barrels with indigenous yeasts.

After that, this white wine from Ribeira Sacra was aged for 10 months in the barrels and in 1,200 and 4,000-litre oak vats. It was bottled in April 2024.

Finally, the wine Lapola 2022 was stored for 12+ months in the cellar before being released onto the market.

This blended Galician white wine was not fined before bottling.

Decant or aerate this Crianza white wine 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 Doña Blanca and Treixadura 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 2022 proves that Ribeira Sacra is a land of great whites too.
