Spain Bodegas y Vinedos Ponce

Our committee's review

A true master of Spanish winemaking, Juan Antonio Ponce elevates Manchuela with wines of remarkable freshness and purity. Simply put—no one vinifies Bobal better than he does! Trained alongside Telmo Rodriguez, he took over his father’s vineyards in 2004 and has since been crafting wines of striking clarity and authenticity.

Spotted by Robert Parker from his very first vintages, he has proven that this region can produce outstanding wines through organic farming and the revival of native grape varieties, all while working with exceptionally old vines.

A leading name in Manchuela and a standout in Parker’s ratings, Ponce is on fire! And at this level of quality, the price is just unbelievable. Rated 98+ by Parker, this cuvée is an absolute steal!

Vintage after vintage, the 2023 Red Manchuela continues to impress. With its fresh, expressive nose of stone fruit and a subtle smoky touch, it showcases Bobal (75% of the blend) at its finest. Fermented and aged in large wooden foudres, it preserves incredible freshness and purity. Delicate, precise, and beautifully balanced, its silky tannins enhance its elegance and refinement. This is the best vintage ever produced for this cuvée—rated 98+/100 by Parker.

Rated 98+ by Parker, this cuvée from Spain’s master of Bobal delivers incredible quality for the price!
