Tasting note:
For Juan Antonio Ponce, the 2022 La Estrecha is the vintage that better brings out the finesse of the Bobal he was looking for, which he describes as fine, ethereal, fresh, elegant and intense. The plot consists of vines over 75 years old, 90 % of Bobal and other mixed varieties on granite soils. The wine was fermented to 100 % in a 4,500-litre barrel and matured for 10 months in a 5,000-litre oak barrel (instead of 600-litre barrels as previously). The wines are not fined, filtered or cold stabilised. It has only 12.5 % alcohol, which is possible in the Mediterranean region. This wine is very pale, delicate and ethereal. The change in ageing from barrels to larger casks seems to have had a big impact on the wine, which has a more relaxed feel. 4,800 bottles were produced. It was bottled in July 2023.
Bodegas Ponce:
In the south-east of Spain, in the Manchuela region, the passionate winemaker Juan Antonio Ponce produces incredibly impressive, finesse-rich wines according to biodynamic guidelines. Mainly from the predominant grape variety here, Bobal, which has achieved international fame thanks to Ponce.
