2023 Bodegas Pujanza Añadas Frías

Pujanza belongs to the modern style Rioja 's and also have the great advantage that the vineyards are high (the Pujanza Norte comes from one of the highest vineyards in the Rioja). This gives the wine the typical Rioja, but with a lot of elegance and freshness.

The white Pujanza wines are among the top white Riojas. The white wine of Pujanza is called the Añadas Frías. This tyrant is only made in top years and is only made in a cool year which gives the wine Burgundian features. The wine comes from grapes from a vineyard of only 1.5 hectares in San Juan de Anterportalatina - Laguardia, DOCa. Rioja. This unique vineyard is located at an altitude of 600 meters on a limestone soil. In a cool year they bring out the Anada Frias and in a warmer year the white wine is the Anterportalatina

The Añadas Frías is made from 100% Viura grapes. The wine has matured in 225 liter new oak barrels on its own lees (sur lie) in a temperature-controlled environment. The wine matures very slowly, develops a great storage potential and gives extra complexity. All this leads to a Burgundian type wine of the very best kind. We certainly will not say that this is an inexpensive wine but it can compete without any problems with the white Burgundians or Rhône wines that cost a lot more. The wine is very refined with a complexity of aromas in which the citrus and minerality initially come to the fore but little by little it gives up its secrets and we smell white flowers and even a little peach. In the mouth the freshness is noticeable and here too the minerality comes to the fore and the wood is very nicely interwoven. The aftertaste is great and long lasting. This is absolute top and it's a shame that less than 1000 bottles have been made and on average it is only made once every 3-4 years.
