Bodegas Ponce, established by Juan Antonio Ponce in 2005, is acclaimed for revitalizing the Bobal grape in the Manchuela region. The 'Clos Lojen' is their entry-level wine, crafted to showcase the pure expression of Bobal from old vines.
- WINEMAKER: Juan Antonio Ponce
- FARMING: Certified Organic
- VARIETY: 100% Bobal
-
TERROIR: Sourced from nine parcels—Abuelo, Cerro, Señorita, Senda, Luján, Mirador, Peral, Valenciano, Inocente, and Polo—with vines aged between 40 and 60 years. The vineyards are situated at 800 meters above sea level on clay-limestone and alluvial soils, contributing to the wine's minerality and freshness.
-
VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes undergo whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts in 4,500-liter oak vats. The wine is neither clarified nor filtered, preserving its natural character.
-
AGING: Aged for 7 months in 10,000 to 15,000-liter French oak vats to maintain freshness and enhance complexity.
-
TASTING NOTES: Displays aromas of ripe red fruits and Mediterranean herbs, with subtle spicy undertones. The palate is balanced and vibrant, featuring good acidity and a mineral finish reminiscent of Morgon wines from granite soils.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses
'Clos Lojen' offers an accessible introduction to the potential of Bobal, reflecting the dedication of Bodegas Ponce to authentic, terroir-driven wines.
