Bodegas Ponce Clos Lojen Bobal Manchuela Spain

Manchuela DO, Spain
Bodegas Ponce's natural-leaning Bobal from ancient gobelet vines on limestone at 850m altitude. Purer, more Burgundy-weight than Sandoval's fuller expression — red cherry, wild strawberry, dried rose, iron mineral, and herbs with elegant tannins and electric acidity. Manchuela's most refined Bobal expression.
