Lapola is a full-bodied yet fresh Galician white wine with good acidity, salty minerality and a discreet, integrated barrel aging that adds depth without overpowering the fruit. The fresh acidity cuts through richness and fatty oil, while the light oak note and the body let the wine keep up with slightly richer dishes without getting lost. Think shellfish, oily fish and salty mineral food, where citrus and salt play up against the wine's stone fruit and wet stone. The body also makes it fond of butter-fried and creamy dishes, where the acidity cleanses the palate between each bite.

About the wine

Lovely mineral, fresh, and full-bodied Galician white wine, primarily made from Godello, 80% Godello, 12% Doña Blanca, 8% Albariño. 

The aroma is full-bodied with citrus oils, ripe peach, wet stones, and a discreet hint of toasted brioche and almonds – a fine indication of the excellent barrel aging. 

Great depth and density in the taste with a beautiful balance between fullness and freshness. There are layers of yellow stone fruits, salty minerality reminiscent of white Burgundy in a cooler and crisper interpretation.

80% Godello, 12% Doña Blanca, 8% Albariño. 

The vines are situated at an altitude of 400 - 750 meters. The soil is predominantly slate.

The wine is spontaneously fermented and aged in a combination of large foudres and used French barrels, adding complexity without overpowering the expression of the grapes. Lapola 2021 is both serious and charming – a wine with nerve, which develops beautifully in the glass and with aging.

Critic reviews

92Antonio Galloni
Vinous
The 2022 Godello LaPola from Ribeira Sacra reflects the warm vintage. This fermented and aged for eight months in foudres and 500- to 600-liter barrels. It opens with restrained yet fruity aromas of apple, pear and herbs, without floral tones. The palate is taut and fresh, with a gentle oak presence.
92Robert Parker
The Wine Advocate
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.
