Cellar for up to 10 years. Decant for up to an hour before serving.

This is a powerful dry red wine, made from the lesser-known Bobal, an indigenous Spanish grape. It showcases an enticing bouquet of floral notes and intense fruits, reminiscent of Garnacha, intertwined with rustic hints of dried herbs. Mineral undertones add a layer of complexity, hinting towards the clean and tactile palate.

Bodegas Ponce, under the guidance of Juan Antonio Ponce, is renowned for its innovative approach to the Bobal grape in the La Manchuela region of Castilla La Mancha. At the winery they handpick their grapes earlier in the season than most neighbouring producers, giving their wines an inherent, characteristic freshness. The vineyard, named "La Estrecha" due to its narrow vine spacing, features granite soils and vines around 75 years old, imparting great complexity to the brew.

La Estrecha is a fresh take on Bobal, elegant and easy to drink, with good acidity and a fine astringency. You can discover flavours of blueberries, black cherries, and subtle fruit pie notes. The wine was aged for 11 months in French oak barrels, imparting a silky tannic quality. The finish is long, with a quintessentially Spanish and delightfully fruity aftertaste. It will be wonderful alongside tender red meat, such as veal, ripe cheeses, or spiced sausages.
