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.
The wine has been chosen by Decanter as the best white wine of Spain (98/100). They start their assessment with: "... A Jewel, Unique...." In the tab: Attachment you will find the factsheet of the wine and the assessment of Decanter
FACT: In the tab 'Attachments' you will find the official fact sheet of this beautiful wine. We will automatically send you this when you order this wine. The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount. You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

July 2022 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
I didn't think Añadas Frías would be produced in 2019, but Carlos San Pedro did produce the 2019 Añadas Frías and skipped the 2018. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in French oak barrels and concrete eggs for 12 months. It has moderate alcohol, 13.22%, and a low pH of 2.98 with 7.05 grams of acidity. He told me that he produces this wine in "special" years, not necessarily in cold years (which is what the name means). In fact, this is quite unusual because it has a Mediterranean and heady nose with abundant balsamic notes, hints of camphor and mint, and in the warm years, the wine shows a bit of a schizophrenic personality with a warm and Mediterranean nose (spices, aromatic herbs, peach) and a cool palate. 1,100 bottles produced.
Pujanza is one of the leading names in modern Rioja. It was created by Carlos San Pedro in Laguardia where he owns 40 hectares of vineyards and produces some 200,000 bottles. I tasted mostly 2019s, a very warm and ripe year with very high ripeness and all the wines (except the Hado) are above 15% alcohol, because he saw green notes in the grapes and waited for the ripening of the grapes but the alcohol was quite high. But the wines are not overripe; it's a ripe but compensated year. 2020 is cooler and the wines are fresher and have more contained alcohol, but both years are low yielding, for different reasons, but both with moderate crops.

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.
