Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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.
