Ponce Reto Albilla Blanca 2022

About Ponce
At the ripe old age of 23, Juan Antonio Ponce (pronounced pon-thay) left a coveted position in the winemaking team of Spanish giant Telmo Rodriguez, to found Bodegas Ponce in the region of Manchuela.

More than a decade later, Ponce wines have become emblematic of a new philosophy in Spanish wine: biodynamically and organically farmed, focused on representation of terroir and heavily influenced by the natural wine movement in France.

Ponce Blanco is produced from the almost extinct white varietal Albilla de Manchuela, which is no relation to the more common Spanish Albillo. As of 2014, Ponce was the only producer using this varietal which produces something surprisingly similar to Chenin Blanc with notes of apple and fresh hay. Importer's notes.
