The vineyards are dry farmed and hand harvested, with a focus on preserving freshness in a naturally warm climate. Fruit is fully destemmed and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and neutral vessels, with very gentle extraction to emphasise purity over structure. Elevage is short and reductive, designed to preserve primary fruit expression rather than build oak influence. The resulting wine is vibrant and immediately expressive, with crunchy red cherry and raspberry fruit, floral violet lift, subtle herbal tones and a fine, chalky texture with soft, approachable tannins and a fresh, saline finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eManchuela Spain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003eBobal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e13%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eRed, fresh, juicy, light structured\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eFull destemming spontaneous fermentation native yeasts stainless steel and neutral vessel élevage gentle extraction short élevage minimal intervention no fining or filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eLow intervention Natural Indigenous Grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ponce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55325006397816,"sku":"CLOSLOJE-24-PON-RED","price":18.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Clos_Lojen.png?v=1760981650"},{"product_id":"p-f-ponce-2023","title":"P.F, Ponce 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eBodegas Ponce is a leading voice in the renewed interpretation of the Manchuela region in central Spain, focusing on old bush vines, high altitude sites and a transparent, low intervention approach to winemaking.

The vineyards sit on limestone and clay rich soils with significant diurnal range, which helps retain freshness and aromatic detail in a warm continental climate. Fruit is hand harvested and partially destemmed before spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, with a focus on infusion rather than extraction to preserve delicacy. Elevage takes place in a combination of neutral oak and larger format vessels, allowing the wine to retain purity of fruit while gaining subtle structure. The result is a vibrant, finely textured expression with red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, floral lift, subtle herbal nuance and a chalky, saline finish carried by finely grained tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eManchuela Spain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003eBobal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e13%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eRed, fresh, lifted, mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003ePartial destemming spontaneous fermentation native yeasts gentle infusion extraction neutral oak and large format élevage minimal intervention no fining or filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eLow intervention Natural Indigenous Grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ponce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55325010624888,"sku":"PF-23-PON-RED","price":29.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Ponce_P_F.png?v=1760981568"}],"url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/collections\/ponce.oembed","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
