Product Description
Details
The wine La Xara is the only varietal Grenache made by Bodegas Ponce, the family winery that has single-handedly put the obscure DO Manchuela, in central Spain, in the world map of quality wine.
This Spanish red wine sourced from 10 hectares of certified organic vineyards with clay-limestone and granitic soils. They went through a full-cluster fermentation with native yeasts in French oak vats.
After that, this red wine from DO Manchuela was aged in 11,000-litre and 600-litre French oak barrels for 7 months.
Bottled in April 2024, the red wine La Xara 2023 was stored in the cellar for 12 months minimum.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine La Xara is medium ruby with some cherry-coloured reflections. |
|---|---|
| Nose | An original expression of the Grenache variety, with a slightly austere side to balance its typically expansive nature. Crunchy red fruit framed by some rocky and chalky notes, with aromatic herbs and some smokey and spicy undertones. |
| Palate | With room for growth, this wine of Bodegas Ponce has a lively mineral and freshness, a sinewy structure and a lively acidity, ending with a note of white pepper and savoury red berries. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine La Xara 2023 is a nuanced, expressive Grenache. |
