WINE DESCRIPTION
Bodegas Ponce Gulp Hablo Verdejo is an exceptional white wine hailing from the Castile-La Mancha region in Spain. Cultivated in the Las Mesas commune, this Verdejo varietal showcases the mastery of Bodegas Ponce in winemaking. The vineyards, spanning 15 hectares and planted in the 1990s and 2000s, benefit from loam soils and a unique climate—long, cold winters followed by a dry spring and warm summer, providing ideal conditions for grape concentration. The grapes, harvested mechanically, undergo meticulous fermentation. 100% de-stemmed, the process unfolds in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, preserving the wine's vibrant and crisp character. The result is a Verdejo masterpiece, characterized by its expressive citrus notes, a testament to both the meticulous craftsmanship of Bodegas Ponce and the unique terroir of Castile-La Mancha. *Please note this wine exists in 1L format*
