Descripción
Se trata de una Bobal procedente de una única parcela llamada Pino, una hectárea sobre suelos calcáreos. Predominan las notas balsámicas y florales en nariz, mientras que en boca es vibrante, largo y con un final sabroso. Además tiene una larga capacidad de guarda, lo que nos permitirá disfrutarlo durante los próximos diez años.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2017 Pino was cropped from an early and low-yielding year when the wine achieved 13% alcohol from the grapes from one hectare of 40-year-old Bobal vines planted at 800 meters in altitude on limestone-rich soils that tend to produce very tasty, almost salty wines. It fermented with 100% stems and indigenous yeasts in 4,500-liter oak vats and finished fermentation and underwent 11 months of aging in 600-liter French oak barrels. Here, they look for a more serious expression of Bobal, from a vineyard that is among their youngest on very rocky and poor limestone soils that give a different profile to the wine, with power but with more finesse than the P.F., with contained power. The palate is tremendously mineral, with a strong chalky sensation and a tasty, somewhat salty finish. 1,800 bottles were filled in August 2018.
This edition of Pino is a full and structured one with plenty of ripe dark-cherry and blueberry aromas, framed in minerals and pastry-like notes. The palate has such sleek delivery of fine tannins and a long, juicy and dense, blue-fruit finish. Drink or hold.
El proyecto familiar de Juan Antonio Ponce, recuperando variedades de la zona y viñedos antiguos, es el vivo ejemplo de que otra Manchuela es posible.
