Ponce - Bobal Pino Manchuela 2021 (750ml)
Ponce Description
This wine is very special, with a complexity that makes it different from the rest of wines at the winery. The Pino is made from a single "Bobal vineyard". The wine has a magnificent and minerally personality because it grows on solid rock. With aromas of gypsum and wet chalk, the palate shows great acidity and dried rose petal notes, finishing with a delightful balsamic taste.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
The 2021 Pino has an unusually low alcoholic degree, 12.5%, but the wine keeps the power, depth and energy from other vintages. This is usually a darker wine with notes of black cherries and pine needles, serious and a little earthy. In the past, it was a bit hard, but nowadays it's more elegant but keeps the depth and with a long aftertaste. This year, it was harvested very early, to avoid the rains, and it had a soft extraction that gave it a more elegant profile. Some 4,000 bottles were filled in July 2022 after aging in the same 3,500-liter oval oak foudre for 10 months, like in previous years.
