Bodega Ponce 'La Casilla' Bobal (2009)

Juan Antonio Ponce heads up this small family run bodega who began bottling their own wines in 2005, after generations of traditional grape-growing that continues today, with the adoption of biodynamic techniques.

All Ponce’s grapes are old vine Bobal, averaging 50, but up to 85 yrs old, and are planted at an altitude of 2,300 feet (700m) and higher.

Only traditional methods are used in the winery. At Bodegas Ponce, the grapes are vinified separately and each wine is made with grapes from a certain block, each representing a different terroir, with its own personality. There are very few, if any other producers working with Bobal in this manner, and in only a few years they have managed to create a serious following of their wines around the globe.
