La Estrecha Manchuela - 2021

After working at Cia de Vinos Telmo Rodriguez Juan Antonio Ponce returned home. The project started in 2005, he was 23, just 11 barrels, and a loan. The family’s wine growing tradition dates back to Juan Antonio’s great-grandfather, although his father never made wine–he used to sell the grapes to the local cooperative. “Ponce says. “The area is full of prejudices, people lack self-confidence. These days Manchuela is probably the most interesting appellation in central Spain, led by Ponce. Granitic soils give this Bobal a lot of finesse and elegance. Bright ruby color, more floral and ethereal than the other labels from Ponce. Strawberry, fine tannins and mineral sensation.
