Ponce Blanco 2023
Descripción
Reto, una de las referencias más conocidas de Juan Antonio Ponce, pasó a denominarse Ponce Blanco a partir de la añada 2022. Se elabora al 100% con la autóctona Albilla, la variedad más antigua de la que se tiene registro en la denominación de origen Manchuela. De perfil austero, mineral y con la chispa de los suelos graníticos.

Opinión de los críticos
The grapes for the white 2023 Ponce Blanco had to be picked 10 days earlier to keep the minerality, the white fruit and floral aromas and to avoid excess ripeness and low acidity. It keeps the citrus and salty twist. Juan Antonio Ponce believes this is one of the vintages with more aging potential, together with 2013, 2016 and 2018. It has 12.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.1 and 6.4 grams of acidity. It feels more Atlantic than Mediterranean, very mineral, with notes of wet chalk, pollen, beeswax and dry flowers. It's tasty and serious, keeping the freshness like if it were a cooler year. 18,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in late March 2024. I also tasted a bottle of 2013, when it was called Reto, and it had developed notes of diesel and wax, keeping the mineral core but a little tired already. A 2015 was much fresher.
