Description

Manchuela pioneer Juan Antonio Ponce may be known for his fantastic wines from bobal and other local grape varieties, but he also knows what to do with international syrah.

Juan Antonio harvests the grapes in a small, seventeen-year-old vineyard, with a soil of lime and clay. After harvesting, he ferments the syrah using yeasts present on the grape. It is aged for eight months in French oak barrels. Finally, Juan Antonio bottles the wine without filtering and fining to preserve as much of the flavor as possible.



It produces a beautiful, pure red wine, with the typical characteristics of a good Syrah on the one hand and the unmistakable Ponce signature on the other. El Mirador has wonderfully juicy cherry fruit, a hint of black pepper and a subtle wood influence.

Like all of Ponce's beautiful wines, this one also impresses with its striking elegance for a wine from such a warm region. The Syrah is beautifully ripe, but also fresh, subtle, finesse and relatively modest in alcohol content. Don't miss it, because Ponce has bottled less than 3000 bottles yet.
