Robert Parkers Wine Advocate (94 points):
"The entry-level white is the 2024 Ponce Blanco. This is the old Reto, a champion in drinkability, minerality and affordability, produced with grapes picked early because of the warm and dry conditions of the summer, keeping the alcohol level at 12.3% (12.5% on the label). The picking date is the most important decision here, early this time. It comes from different vineyards, ages, soils and, for the third time, includes the plot by the winery at over 800 meters above sea level on rich limestone and gravel soils. It fermented in small 1,000-liter vats inside the cold chamber and matured in 600-liter barrels and 1,000-liter foudres for seven months, mostly without malolactic to keep the vibrant and saline part, even though some barrels might go through partial malolactic. The palate has more volume, the effect of the lees, but with a very good texture; it's sapid and saline with very well-integrated oak (they are slowly renewing the barrels so as not to mark the wine). It's incredible for the price, and it has a very good track record for aging potential. This year, 18,000 bottles produced."
Gastro (★★★★★★):
"Jeg anbefaler på det kraftigste også den nyeste iteration Ponce Blanco 2024. Jeg sidder med en fornemmelse af Aligoté ... fra varmt klima i munden. Igen bittersyrlig, men ufattelig citruspræget med Noilly Prat-indslag af grønne krydderurter og rødder. Tør man sige mineralitet i disse tider? Der er i hvert fald lige her."
Vinbladet (93 points & "Vellykket"):
"Kraftfuld næse med ganske meget egetræ og en detaljerig aromaprofil, der kunne lede tanken hen på koldklima Sauvignon Blanc tilsat et stænk Chardonnay. Ualmindelig personlig vin på den lokale druesort Albilla med rankt og fornemt mineralsk præg og krydret med lidt røg og grønne urter. Dejlig tæthed og fin balance. Solid, velstruktureret og givende vin med tiltalende styrke og dejlig længde. Vellykket. Ville være svær at placere i en blindsmagning."
