The grape variety Moravia Agria, which makes up 85% of Bodegas Ponce Buena Pinta, has become very rare. Late ripening and low yields, which does not help its popularity in mass-produced wine production in central Spain.
Juan Antonio with his Bodegas Ponce shows what sensational wines you can make from this old variety. Juan is the driving force behind the D.O. Manchuela, makes wines there with incredible freshness and elegance. The 2018 vintage of Ponce Buena Pinta was rated an incredible 94/100 by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. For a wine under €15 a bottle actually incredible. The next surprise with this wine is its alcohol content of just 12%! In one of the warmest regions of Europe.
The color of this beautiful exotic is rather light for a red wine from Spain, it is delicate, fresh, wonderfully elegant and has a mixture of red berries, flowers and pepper in the fragrance. On the palate with high tannin quality, extract and a wonderful drinkability. You have to experience it, otherwise you won't believe it.
