The 2006 Lapola is made from 60% Godello and 40% a combination of Treixadura, Torrontes, and Dona Blanca. There is no malolactic fermentation; the wine has extended lees contact, and is bottled without fining or filtration. Light gold-colored, the nose reveals exotic tropical aromas along with mineral and floral notes. Round, creamy-textured, and rich in the mouth, it has loads of flavor and a long, fruit-filled finish. Tradition and respect for the past is what Dominio do Bibei, under the leadership of Javier Dominguez, seems to be all about. There is no stainless steel here, with cement and various sizes of wood utilized to contain the wine. There are approximately 100 acres of vines under cultivation, both red and white.
