Lapena 2019
82.20€ (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The oaky and perfumed 2019 Lapena is going to need more time to integrate the effect of the élevage in wood, but the palate is phenomenal, intense and incisive, with weight and plenty of flavors, quite showy and a little decadent. It finishes dry and long.

Description
Lapena wine is a sublime expression of the Ribeira Sacra region's viticulture, standing out for its meticulous winemaking and uniqueness. This wine comes from Godello vineyards, an autochthonous variety grown in vines with an average age of 30 years, which gives the wine exceptional complexity and depth.
Winemaking
The elaboration of Lapena is a carefully orchestrated process that begins with a rigorous selection of the grapes, followed by a controlled fermentation. The ageing of this wine is particularly distinctive, resting for 9 months in barrels, giving it subtle oak notes and complexity. The wine is then transferred to concrete eggs for a few months, an innovative technique that favours micro-oxygenation and preserves the freshness and purity of the fruit. Finally, Lapena completes its maturation with more than a year in the bottle, allowing its characteristics to harmonise and express themselves fully.
Taste
Lapena is a true masterpiece of balance and elegance. On the palate, this wine reveals a palette of ripe white fruit and tropical nuances, intertwined with herbaceous and undergrowth notes that reflect the richness of its terroir. The barrel ageing gives it a subtle toasty touch, which perfectly complements its fruity profile. The minerality is a distinctive feature of Lapena, bringing a vibrant freshness that prolongs its persistence on the palate. This wine is undoubtedly a top in its category, standing out for its elegance and unique personality. Its limited production makes it a treasure for those lucky enough to discover it, promising an unforgettable sensory experience.
