2021 Ponce Bobal La Estrecha



2021 Ponce Bobal La Estrecha....$31.99
Grape: Bobal
The 2021 La Estrecha has a perfumed nose with floral notes (it could make you think of Garnacha), hints of aromatic herbs and polished and elegant tannins. This fermented in an oak foudre and matured in used 600-liter French oak barrels for 10 months. It's serious, with depth and complexity, a wine that is special in the portfolio, from a special vineyard.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate

More about the grape Bobal:

Bobal is an ancient grape variety native to Spain.  Though it has been around for centuries, it’s only recently that Bobal has started gaining recognition for its unique qualities and potential for producing high-quality wines. The grape gets its name from the Latin word "bovale," meaning bull, likely due to the resemblance of its bunches to a bull's head.
