Description

Création de Juan Antonio Ponce élaborée à partir d'un cépage Bobal provenant d'une seule parcelle appelée Pino, un hectare de sols calcaires. Au nez, les notes balsamiques et florales prédominent, tandis qu'au palais, il est vif, long et avec une finale savoureuse. Il présente également une longue capacité de garde, ce qui nous permettra de l'apprécier pendant les dix prochaines années.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The 2024 Pino comes from a plot very rich in limestone and shows a serious character and profile, but this year, it also has elegance and perfume. It has notes of Mediterranean herbs and is clean and precise, with a medium-bodied palate, very fine tannins, contained ripeness and only 12.5% alcohol (together with the 2021 and 2019, it's one of three vintages with this low alcohol—the three vintages when they harvested early). It fermented with full clusters in 4,500-liter oak vats and matured in an oval 3,500-liter oak foudre for 10 months. This is very chalky and sapid, showing the effect of the limestone in the soils. This has to be the finest vintage for Pino and for Juan António Ponce, the one that better shows the character of the place. It's a Pino with more finesse. 3,800 bottles produced. It was bottled at the end of July 2025. Like all the wines here, it was unfined and unfiltered and had no cold stabilization.

James Suckling:

A striking bobal, with mineral, white pepper, dried herbs and masses of fresh dark cherries and a reductive, meaty note that reminds me of lard. Pristine and bright on its medium-to full-bodied palate with a robust bobal structure that’s sturdy and nebbiolo-like, but fleshier. Fresh and pristine, with an absence of wood tannin. There is a lot of vibration and succulence, and a long, crunchy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink from 2026. (Zekun Shuai)
