Pujanza belongs to the modern style of Rioja and also has the great advantage that the vineyards are located at a high altitude (the Pujanza Norte comes from one of the highest vineyards in the Rioja). This gives the wine the typical Rioja character, but with a lot of elegance and freshness.
De La Paul is the newest addition to the Pujanza family. The La Paul vineyard is named after a small stream that runs through the vineyard called La Paul. The vineyard is located on a hill of around 600 meters facing east on the slopes of the town of Laguardia. The La Paul is a 100% Tempranillo where, after a double selection (vineyard and sorting table), the wine ferments through spontaneous fermentation with daily light pumping and is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels of 225 L and another 12 months in concrete barrels. barrels.
In the glass, the Pujanza La Paul has a deep dark cherry color with purple hints. On the nose the wine is suggestive, full of pleasant fruit aromas with elegant ripe fruit, mineral hints and well-integrated wood. In the mouth the wine is lush, broad and round and gives good freshness and balance. The La Paukl has a great fruity, expressive and persistent aftertaste. A Rioja full of Elegance.

Issue 251 End of October 2020, The Wine Advocate
I tasted two vintages of the newest of the reds, 2017 and 2018, two very different years. The 2017 La Paul is a lot riper, has more alcohol and less acidity than the 2018, which is understandable, as the year was quite warm. The vineyard has stony limestone and gets the morning sun, and the grapes ripen thoroughly. Primary and malolactic fermentations were carried out in stainless steel, and the élevage was in French barriques and lasted 17 months. This is a more Mediterranean expression of the vineyard, ripe and heady, with a rustic mouthfeel, quite different tannins from the 2018. 10,000 bottles produced.
Carlos San Pedro works 40 hectares of vineyards in Laguardia and produces around 200,000 bottles of the ultimate modern Rioja. I tasted all 2018s, a very mineral and austere vintage with moderate alcohol and good freshness. The Norte plot was harvested in November, the cycle was very long and the grapes ripened thoroughly and slowly. He calls it "more radical" than 2016, with lower alcohol, fresher aromas and more minerality, tension and clout. This is a vintage that is going to age with grace. The vintages are quite marked here, and I saw the typicity of 2008 very clear here. In 2019, there will be a new wine from an extremely old vineyard.

Bodegas Pujanza is located in the heart of the Rioja Alavesa. The winery is located in one of the most beautiful villas in this region. A real prime location in the most beautiful part of the Rioja. Bodegas Pujanza is one of the youngest (top) Rioja houses and started in June 2002. It is a family business with a long tradition of growing grapes and wine making in the capital of the Rioja Alavesa. The location in the valley of the Ebro and the slopes of the Sierra de Cantabria, partly determines the character of the Pujanza wines.
Owner Carlos San Pedro and his team are constantly working to improve the performance of their vineyards and with an almost manic approach, they try to improve the quality of the wines even further. Pujanza is one of the new style winemakers in the Rioja such as Remirez de Ganuza and Tentenublo where the focus is on absolute top quality with emphasis on the fruit. The fact that Penin and Parker without exception rate the wines of this house well above 90 points (so the absolute honor division) says enough. The 4 main wines are the Hado, the Valdepoleo (in the past this wine was called the Pujanza Pujanza) the Norte and the cult wine the Cisma.
Carlos is one of the pioneers together with Remirez de Ganuza in the field of modern style Rioja's and has the luxury that his vineyards are situated high so that there are good differences between day and night temperature. This gives the wines extra complexity and freshness. Carlos only works with single vineyards except at the Hado (here the grapes are used from the norte and Valdepoleo vineyards). Carlos has divided all 3 vineyards into plots (except the Cisma vineyard because it is so small) and all these plots are vinified separately. Only just before bottling, the various plots are combined until it has the desired taste and then it is bottled. This concept is far from economical but does make for great wines. Carlos does not use external yeasts, and he deliberately chooses to keep the amount of new wood low, but also to raise the wines longer in large (used) barriques.
