About Ponce Albilla Selección

Passion may be an inherent trait, yet behind every achievement lies the fruits of relentless endeavour. As the adage goes, 'genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration', success is not solely attained through a spark of creativity, but through unwavering dedication and tireless resolve. Juan Antonio Ponce embodies this philosophy, having propelled the small and relatively obscure Denominación de Origen Manchuela, located in Castilla-La Mancha (Spain), onto the global wine stage. A descendant of grape growers, after honing his skills at the School of Viticulture and Oenology in Requena, at Telmo Rodríguez's winery, and at other esteemed establishments in France, he returned to his homeland with the unwavering intent of bringing his own venture to life. His winery pays tribute to indigenous grape varieties, many of which exceed 80 years in age, and are vinified with minimal intervention in order to convey the purest essence of the terroir.

With a commitment to preserving viticultural heritage and an ethos of authenticity, he introduces Ponce Albilla Selección, a monovarietal made from the native white grape albilla sourced from his two finest plots on granitic and clay-limestone soils with gravel. Although not certified organic, a respectful approach to viticulture is practiced without the use of chemical products, and with consideration given to the lunar calendar in each process. In the winery, traditional vinification is conducted where each plot ferments separately with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. Subsequently, the wine matures in new 1,000-litre foudres and 500 and 600-litre French oak barrels for 11 months. It is neither clarified nor filtered, and production is exceedingly limited.

With an unwavering focus on quality and a reverence for tradition, Juan Antonio Ponce introduces Ponce Albilla Selección, a complex and profound white wine with significant aging potential, further elevating the Denominación de Origen Manchuela on the global wine map.

 

2022

Ponce Albilla Selección 2022 is unveiled in an appealing pale yellow hue, heralding a promise of freshness and sophistication. As one brings it closer to the nose, a tapestry of subtle scents unfurls, featuring fruits such as pear and green apple, complemented by a hint of white blossoms. On the palate, its robust structure and luminous complexity shine through, offering an intriguing amalgamation of minerality and zesty acidity that invigorates the taste buds. The creamy texture adds a smooth counterpoint to this vibrant expression of the Albilla grape, leaving a lasting and gratifying impression.
