Product Description
Details
Coming from DO Ribeira Sacra, the wine Lapola is made by bodega Dominio do Bibei.
Made basically from Godello, complemented with Albariño, Doña 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 concrete diposits and big wooden vats with indigenous yeasts.
After that, this white wine from Ribeira Sacra was aged for 8 months in 700-litre concrete diposits, 1,200 and 2,400-litre oak vats and oak barrels.
Finally, the wine Lapola 2023 was aged for a further 8 months in stainless steel tanks before being bottled in April 2025.
This blended Galician white wine was not fined before bottling.
Decant or aerate this Crianza white wine 30 minutes before drinking.
Additional Information
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 2023 proves that Ribeira Sacra is a land of great whites too. |
