Ponce
Now one of Spain's leading experts in biodynamic and natural winemaking, Juan Antonio Ponce quickly started turning heads in the Spanish fine wine circles for his elite bottlings after starting his winery at the tender age of 23 in 2005.
He has put the lesser-known appellation of Manchuela, 100km in-land from Valencia, on the map. The region is essentially a high altitude plateau sitting between 600 and 1,000 metres above sea level. The family now owns vineyards in the villages of Iniesta, Villanueva de la Jara, Villamalea and Mahora, and consistently produce some of the best wines from Manchuela.

Wine Advocate (98)The eponymous red 2022 Ponce was produced with 80% Bobal from granite soils and 20% Moravia Agria from limestone and clay. It fermented with 100% full clusters in open-top 4,500-liter oak vats and finished fermenting and aging in a single 7,000-liter oak vat for 11 months. It has 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.6 with 5.7 grams of acidity. This has something in common with the La Estrecha from this same vintage, with a more ethereal profile, both with changes in the élevage toward larger volumes that give the wines more relaxed, less tight personalities. Complete, balanced and harmonious from very early on, this is a great vintage for this wine. 7,000 bottles were filled in September 2023. |
