Manchuela

3.5/5See the 4 reviews

The Manchuela appellation is located in central Spain, in the Castilla La Mancha region. This region begins at the end of the Valencia DO, and is bordered by La Mancha to the west and Jumilla to the south. La Manchuela was formerly part of the Mancha appellation, but was separated from it in 2004.

In terms of terroir, the Manchuela appellation is characterized by its location between two rivers: Gabriel and Jucar, offering rich soils and ideal humidity levels for vines. The higher elevations (400 to 700 meters) are predominantly clay, while the valleys have more limestone. The region's climate generally varies from hot summers to very cold winters, with very little rainfall year-round.

La Manchuela offers a wealth of grape varieties, the most widespread of which is Bobal, a widely appreciated local red variety.

The wine-growing region is then divided into :

- international varieties: such as Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for reds, and Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay for whites.

- indigenous grape varieties: such as monastrell, moravia agria, pintaillo, marisancho, merseguera, albillo and macabeu.

"Rated 94 by Parker, discover this fresh and irresistibly complex cuvée: another success from Bodegas Ponce!"

" The 2023 La Casilla was fermented with whole bunches and indigenous yeasts in 4,500-liter oak vats and matured in these vats and a few 600-liter barrels for nine months. It has incredible freshness [...]. It's complex and serious, much more complex than the Clos Lojen, despite the small price difference, and it has berry, herb and floral notes, lots of aromatic Mediterranean herbs and very good freshness and acidity, fine tannins and very good overall balance, ideal for accompanying dishes. This is a serious but easy-drinking wine. It's more Rhone than Burgundy. [...]. I tasted a bottle of the 2005, their first vintage, and the wine was fully mature, even if the style was different (it has 14.5% alcohol), more extractive and with more oak. 2024-2035" (Wine Advocate - Parker 2024)

"Winner of a 97 Suckling, discover this singular cuvée made from a single hectare of old Bobal vines grown organically!"

" This bobal reminds me of a linear, refined Rhone-style Syrah. Aromas of meat, lard and dried herbs change to floral and spicy, but the dark, vibrant fruit is present throughout. On the palate, the wine is chalky and vertical, and there's not much fruit, which doesn't bring fullness. This is a classy wine, taut, stony, structured and melted. Amazing value for money. Made from organic grapes. Drink now. (James Suckling 2024)
