Ponce's Blanco er en helt unik vin fra Manchuela, som præsenterer den regionale stjerne Albilla i sin reneste form. Juan Antonio Ponce høstede bevidst druerne ti dage tidligere for at bevare deres friskhed og mineralitet. Derefter otte måneder i brugte franske barriques. Næsen er i begyndelsen noget lukket, men med lidt luft udfolder der sig en bouquet af hvide blomster, tørrede urter og friske citrusfrugter. Dette ledsages af fine noter af krudt og bivoks, understøttet af en sensationel friskhed og en stenet mineralitet. I munden er vinen skarp og meget ligetil med en livlig syre, der indbyder til at blive ved med at drikke. Teksturen er flydende, salt og sprød og præget af en høj, næsten kridtholdig mineralitet. De lave 12,5 % alkohol giver en vidunderlig lethed. Dette er en seriøs og smagfuld vin, som har en elegant, næsten burgundisk fornemmelse og opbygger en uimodståelig spænding.

Parker zu 2023 om: Ponce Blanco

The grapes for the white 2023 Ponce Blanco had to be picked 10 days earlier to keep the minerality, the white fruit and floral aromas and to avoid excess ripeness and low acidity. It keeps the citrus and salty twist. Juan Antonio Ponce believes this is one of the vintages with more aging potential, together with 2013, 2016 and 2018. It has 12.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.1 and 6.4 grams of acidity. It feels more Atlantic than Mediterranean, very mineral, with notes of wet chalk, pollen, beeswax and dry flowers. It's tasty and serious, keeping the freshness like if it were a cooler year. 18,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in late March 2024. I also tasted a bottle of 2013, when it was called Reto, and it had developed notes of diesel and wax, keeping the mineral core but a little tired already. A 2015 was much fresher.
