The 2006 Lapena is 100% Godello fermented in seasoned 600-liter oak with extended lees contact both in wood and cement vats. Light gold-colored, it displays aromas of mineral, lemon, tropical fruits, and spring flowers. On the palate it has a creamy texture, laser-like focus, superb concentration, and impeccable balance leading to a lengthy, refreshing 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.
