Lapena, Dominio do Bibei 2015

Tasting Notes

The nutty and golden white 2015 Lapena matured in barrel for seven months but has a more oxidative profile than the younger white (Lapola) that only spends four months in wood. Having said that, the wine feels surprisingly young for its age. It has notes of baked apples and nuts and a round and lush palate, denoting the ripeness of a warm year like 2015, with its 14% alcohol, medium to full body and lush texture. It has the textbook bitter finish from the Godello. The next vintage for this bottling was 2018, as no 2016 or 2017 was produced. 888 bottles were filled in July 2017. Drink 2022-2026.
