The fruit-driven and primary white 2022 Lapola has a nose of chamomile and dry herbs and a medium-bodied and soft palate with a fine-boned texture and purity of flavors. It's ripe at 14% alcohol but keeping very good freshness and acidity, reflected by a pH of 3.18 and 6.666 grams of acidity. In the warm 2022 vintage, it was produced with 86% Godello, 7% Albariño, 6% Doña Blanca and 1% Treixadura, fermented in 600-liter oak barrels with indigenous yeasts and matured partly in those 600-liter barrels and partly in 1,200- and 2,400-liter oak foudres with the lees for 10 months. 34,343 bottles and 360 magnums produced. It was bottled in April 2024.

Our Tasting Note:
Medium lemon yellow. The pronounced nose is a tad more reserved and mineral than the Lalume, plenty of apple and pear, with white floral blossoms, and a line of salinity. More acidity and the perception of more freshness than Lalume, medium/med+ body, med+ palate and persistent finish. Tom's fave of the 2 whites.

Variety: 83% Godello, 10% Albariño and 7% Doña Blanca & Treixadura
Vinification and Aging: Fermented in a mix of foudre and concrete tanks. Aged in large wood vats and concrete tanks on the lees.
