This Ribeira Sacra is a light to medium-bodied red wine with a paler color, delicate perfume, and an elegant yet full flavor carried by a mineral slate character, soft tannin, and fresh acidity. The soft texture and red fruit mean you should stick to dishes of moderate weight, where the wine's finesse isn't steamrolled. The gentle backbone smoke from the oak barrels and the earthy minerality suit charcuterie, light meat, and poultry, while the fresh acidity cuts through richness and salt without turning sharp. Grilled surfaces and a hint of smoke play nicely against the wine's own smoky tone.

About the wine
The wine beautifully showcases the delicate personality of the brancellao grape with its lighter color, subtle perfume, and elegant yet full-bodied taste.
A unique wine that tastes fantastic now but also has excellent aging potential.
91% brancellao and 9% blend of mouratón and grao negro.
The vines are between 12 and 60 years old. The soil is predominantly slate. The terraces are located at an altitude of 250 - 500 meters. Fermentation in 500L and 300L French oak barrels. Aged for 14 months in used French 300L barriques and 6 months in a large 15 hl oak barrel before bottling.

The white 2020 Lapola is a powerful expression of Ribeira Sacra with notes of hay and straw, ripe fruit, dry flowers and some spice, and it has a round palate with a fine texture, with pungent flavors and a dry finish.

This is the winery's most delicate wine. Subtle, aerial and with an outstanding minerality. It is a very burgundian expression and the demonstration of great refinement from Ribeira Sacra.
