Availability: In stock
The wine Ponce Tinto is the culmination of winemaker Juan Antonio Ponce's two-decade-long tenure at the helm of Bodegas Ponce, a period during which he has managed to put both his family winery and the DO Manchuela – a lesser-known wine region in Central Spain - on the radar of wine aficionados around the world.
This blended Spanish red wine is made from two local varieties with contrasting personalities: the tannicand Bobal (75%), and the fine-boned and juicy Moravia Agria (25%). The grapes are sourced from vines 60+ years old planted in the La Ensancha vineyard, composed of granitic, cobbled and limestone soils.
Both varieties went through a whole-cluster co-fermentation in 4,500-litre oak vats. After that, this organic red wine from DO Manchuela was aged for 11 months in open-top 7,000-litre French oak vats.
The red wine Ponce Tinto 2023 was bottled in August 2024.
