Lapola 2023

2023 / 93 puntos

The 2023 vintage is complex. September was a cold month, and that comes through in the 2023 Lapola, their first white made with Godello and small quantities of Albariño, Doña Blanca and Treixadura from older and younger vines on different soils—granite, schist and sand—at different altitudes and expositions. It fermented in oak containers of different sizes and concrete eggs, where it matured with the fine lees, and then was kept in stainless steel for eight months after it was blended. It's powerful and intense, with 14.1% alcohol, a pH of 3.4 and 6.2 grams of acidity, balanced parameters for an unctuous wine with density and clout, finishing with a subtle bitter touch. 35,600 bottles and 360 magnums produced. It was bottled in April 2025.
