Its wines are prized for their price-quality ratio, often appearing on Wine-Searcher's Top 10 Best Value Wines. Juan Antonio Ponce, known as the master of the Bobal variety, began the estate with his father (who owned some land in Manchuela) in 2005 at the age of 23. His experience includes five years as the right-hand man to famed winemaker Telmo Rodriguez. The thick skinned Bobal grape variety which can be rather rustic in the wrong hands (but crucucially retains acidity in the warm climate) represents the majority of production. It accounts for six or seven different cuvées, while acclaimed red wines are also made from Garnacha and Monastrell. Reto is a white wine made from the Albillo grape variety. Its name means \"Challenge\", referring to the difficulties faced making a white wine in a hot region; it is nevertheless mineral-laden with fine acidity, yet well-textured at the same time. The vineyards are farmed organically with very little mechanization. They sit at high altitudes for the region on clay, limestone and sandstone soils. Vine age ranges from 30 to 90 years, with some parcels still planted on their own rootstocks. In the winery, hand-harvested whole bunches of grapes are chilled to 8°C (46°F), then fermented with the stems - a traditional practice known as remango in Rioja. This means semi-carbonic maceration occurs in the tank. Fermentation is completed in neutral oak barrels; around seven months' maturation follows.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-02-21T16:50:08-05:00","created_at":"2024-02-19T15:21:11-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Spain","Other_Wine","Producer_Bodegas Ponce","Region_Castilla La Mancha","RK170224","Source_VendorEmailWine0224","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bobal"],"price":6300,"price_min":6300,"price_max":6300,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44306398707850,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2012 | Bodegas Ponce | Pie Franco P.F","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":6300,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/13_3f87597b-602f-4114-94a7-e302aaa131b7.png?v=1708382000"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/13_3f87597b-602f-4114-94a7-e302aaa131b7.png?v=1708382000","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2012 | Bodegas Ponce | Pie Franco P.F at CaskCartel.com","id":26207566626954,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.306,"height":483,"width":148,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/13_3f87597b-602f-4114-94a7-e302aaa131b7.png?v=1708382000"},"aspect_ratio":0.306,"height":483,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/13_3f87597b-602f-4114-94a7-e302aaa131b7.png?v=1708382000","width":148}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2012 | Bodegas Ponce | Pie Franco P.F\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright red color.
