Den klare nummer 1 fra Juan Antonio Ponce. Friskheden og pikantheden er perfekt til disse højtliggende vine. Gammel Bobal i et blandet sæt med den oprindelige røde Moravia Agria plantet på kalksten. Buskvin. Økologisk. Helklasegæring i stort træ, modning i 600 liters tonneau. Enorm finesse i næsen. Forbløffende fin og elegant, men alligevel intens og med en let smag af flint og rå lever. I munden røde kirsebær, jordbær, hindbær, blommer, salte slåen, så hvid peber nedenunder, en meget fin krydrethed og en fænomenal legesyge. Og alligevel masser af intensitet i den fyldige mund. Måske tager Moravia Agria toppen af Bobal, for dette legesyge vidunder er en af de fineste vine fra Spanien, simpelthen stor biograf, munden igen meget mere delikat og legesyg end næsen. Men du er nødt til at involvere dig i spillet. Forestil dig en Romanee Conti, der efterlader La Tache, bare fordi den er så meget finere. Ponce er selvfølgelig anderledes end Bourgogne, men den er også en sensation! *** I Manchuela, den bjergrige region i La Mancha, en ren Bobal-vinmark i meget stor højde. Manchuela ligger nord for Jumilla og lige vest for Valencia. Den oprindelige druesort giver dybe, mørke vine med kraft og fylde og i køligere år en masse friskhed og moderat alkohol. Økologisk vindyrkning og lavt udbytte kan bringe denne druesort til store højder.

Parker zu 2023 om: Ponce Tinto

The one red that Ponce has decided to carry his name is the 2023 Ponce, the wine he likes as a consumer. This is the sixth vintage of this wine, this year with more Moravia Agria than ever, as it's 75% Bobal and 25% Moravia Agria. The blend is different every year, in search of freshness, elegance and seriousness at the same time. The full clusters of the two varieties fermented together in 4,500-liter French oak vats and matured in a single 5,000-liter oak vat for 11 months. It comes from a large vineyard planted on limestone-rich soils covered with small river stones and very old, spectacular plants. Because of the high percentage of Moravia, it has a paler color, but the grape also gives elegance and polish to the Bobal, softening the tannins and giving it a silky side. It has 13% alcohol, a pH of 3.52 and 5.7 grams of acidity. It is a bit reductive, shy and insinuating, developing notes of flowers (even white flowers), which make it different. But there's precision, elegance and purity. It's a wine that reflects the very high potential of the old vineyards in the zone, well beyond the majority of bulk wine produced in the region. Even at this price, it represents very good value. 7,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2024.
