Bobal has a reputation as a rough, hard-to-tame grape, and Juan Antonio Ponce has made his name proving it can be fresh. Pino is that argument made from a single plot. It's one hectare of limestone in Manchuela, a little-known corner of Castilla-La Mancha, and the plot's name, Pino, simply means "pine." Ponce picks everything by hand, earlier than most of his neighbors, to keep Bobal's acidity bright, and whole-cluster fermentation is his usual approach to the grape. The 2023 comes in at a moderate 13% alcohol, which suggests the early picking is doing its job. Ponce and his father farm organically and biodynamically, planting native Mediterranean trees and shrubs among the vines. If you think of Spanish reds as big and heavy, this is a quietly convincing case for an underdog grape.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Lamb chops grilled over vine cuttings; gazpacho manchego (the La Mancha game-and-flatbread stew); grilled chorizo and morcilla; mushroom and rabbit paella; aged Manchego.

Tasting Profile

Expect the fresh, early-picked take on Bobal: dark cherry, blueberry and violet, with a lifted herbal, slightly peppery edge from whole-cluster fermentation. Medium-bodied, with bright acidity and fine-grained tannins, it finishes dry, savoury and clean. Think of it as closer to a Cru Beaujolais than a big, heavy Spanish red.
