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.

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.

A quick introduction to Bodegas Pujanza: a relatively young Rioja estate that quickly made its mark with characterful wines.
Carlos San Pedro, the fourth generation of a winemaking family in Laguardia, released his first wine under the Pujanza name in 1998. He started with 15 hectares of vineyards and has since grown to almost 40 hectares. All of it lies in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, at altitude, where cool nights shape the fruit. In just two decades the estate has become a key player in the region.
All vineyards are located within about 4 km of the winery, around the medieval town of Laguardia. The position in the Ebro valley, sheltered by the Sierra Cantabria, creates a unique microclimate: warm days, cool nights, and limestone-rich soils. This brings slow ripening, aromatic depth, and a fresh line of acidity.
The estate works only with two native grapes: Tempranillo for the reds and Viura for the whites. Everything comes from their own vineyards, with close attention to each plot.
- Carlos divides each vineyard - except for Cisma - into smaller subplots and vinifies them separately. They are only blended just before bottling to reach the desired balance.
- No cultured yeasts are used, and new oak is limited. Ageing takes place mainly in seasoned barrels for longer periods.
- Critics such as Parker and Peñín consistently award the wines over 90 points.
At Grandcruwijnen you can easily order wines from Bodegas Pujanza. They are stored in a conditioned Wine Warehouse, so they arrive in perfect shape. If you choose ‘Pick up’ at checkout, you’ll see an instant discount applied right away.
