Bobal is famously rustic and difficult to get right, and Clos Lojen is the easiest way to taste what Juan Antonio Ponce does with it. It's an approachable, all-Bobal red from the man who has made Manchuela one of the most exciting places to drink in central Spain, and it gives you a lot for the money. Ponce started out in 2005, aged 23, with eleven barrels and a loan, after a stint at Telmo Rodríguez's wine company. His family had grown grapes since his great-grandfather's day, but his father sold the grapes to the local cooperative rather than making wine. Today the estate is certified organic and farmed biodynamically. The grapes come from a network of old vineyards in southwestern Manchuela, and Ponce's habits in the cellar are what set his Bobal apart: he picks early and ferments whole clusters using "remango," a technique once common in Rioja. The vines are 40 to 60 years old.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled lamb chops with rosemary, chorizo and white bean stew, wood-fired pizza with spicy salami, or a plate of aged Manchego with jamón.

Tasting Profile

Expect a lively, juicy Bobal: dark cherry, blackberry and plum, with the floral lift and peppery, slightly herbal edge that early picking and whole-cluster fermentation tend to bring. Typically medium-bodied, with fresh acidity and soft but grippy tannins, finishing bright and dry. Think of a darker, more rustic Beaujolais.
