    About Pujanza

    Awarded the unofficial, yet significant, rank of Rioja First Growth by Tim Atkin MW, Bodegas Pujanza is a force to be reckoned with in Spain’s foremost vinous region standing shoulder to shoulder with formidable names from La Rioja Alta to Artuke.

    Hailed by many as a specialist in “modern” Rioja, winemaker and proprietor Carlos San Pedro finds this to be something of a misnomer considering his inspiration is in fact the old ways of Rioja. Moving the focus away from the winery, with its regional propensity for heavy American oaking, and shifting it towards the vineyard and a quest to express the stunning terroir of Rioja, Bodegas Pujanza crafts particularly transparent and pure Tempranillo.

    Nestled in Laguardia, the heart of Rioja Alavesa, San Pedro harks back to the noble tradition in this particular corner of Rioja of exceptionally elegant wines, noted for their beguiling perfume and greater nuance. Having founded this grand estate at the tender age of 25, the winemaker is as passionate as any vigneron about the future of Rioja and its place amongst the very greatest fine wine regions. Currently working 40 hectares of the finest vines in Laguardia, Carlos San Pedro cites his ultimate ambition as making elegance, subtlety and purity synonymous with Rioja, as opposed to mass-production and overbearing oak.

    Pujanza wasn't hit by the hail that affected Rioja in 2017, but this is still a pretty concentrated number, made entirely from Tempranillo grown at 630 metres and aged in 25% new wood. Chalky, dense and youthful, it's a wine that's made to mature in bottle, combining intensity with focus, freshness and serious tannins

    The single-vineyard red 2018 Finca Valdepoleo follows the line of the 2016, two cooler years. It's a fairly large plot that was planted in 1973 in the village of Laguardia on limestone and clay soils at 630 meters in altitude. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and also with some stems (something they don't normally do), and it matured in French oak barrels for one year. The finesse of this wine captured me, and I believe this is the finest vintage for this vineyard bottling. When I poured the whole range and had a quick look at all the wines, this one made me raise my eyebrows. It's elegant, subtle and pure, floral and aromatic, really expressive and captivating. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins and nicely integrated oak. It's a modern version of the 2013. Truly outstanding. 60,000 bottles produced.

    The vines are still comparatively young at 19 years' old, but Norte, located at 730 metres on the slopes of the Sierra de Cantabria, is one of Rioja's greatest parcels. Influenced by the presence of limestone close to the surface, this is a thrilling Tempranillo that's taut, chalky and chiselled with serious, ageworthy tannins, sappy acidity and layers of red berry and black cherry fruit. 2025-35

    Part of an accomplished range of Riojas from Laguardia producer Pujanza, this 100% Viura is grown on the small 3.5ha limestone vineyard of San Juan de Anteportalatina at 600m. This terroir produces a distinctive and distinguished white, with layered aromas, savoury notes, fresh lemon, preserved lemon, a touch of salinity, and stony minerality. Rioja's answer to white Burgundy: elegant, mineral, toasty, buttery, citrus, with real verve - a seam of focused acidity. Vibrant finish, long and layered with fresh grapefruit, saltiness, toasted nuts. Aged for 12 months in French oak and concrete. Limited production.
