Bodegas y ViƱedos Pujanza, founded in 1998 by Carlos San Pedro, is located in Laguardia, a historic wine-producing town in Spain's Rioja Alavesa region. Carlos, who comes from a family of winemakers, founded the winery with the vision of producing wines that reflect the characteristics of the terroir. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of at least 600 meters above sea level and benefit from an oceanic climate, which contributes to the freshness and complexity of the wines.

Besides its red wines, Pujanza is certainly also known for its white wines, which are undoubtedly among the very best white Rioja wines and have already been voted Spain's Best White by Parker & Atkins several times. The Pujanza Viura was launched in the 2024 vintage and represents freshness and vibrancy. Following the success of its older siblings, AƱadas Frƭas and SJ Anteportalatina, this white wine takes the lead. Pujanza wines always excel in purity and varietal character. We can safely say that this wine succeeds once again. Volume, fruit, and a hint of saltiness make this an exceptionally versatile and gastronomic choice.

2024 Pujanza Viura: grape variety and vinification

The 2024 Pujanza Viura is made from 100% Viura grapes, sourced from carefully selected plots in Laguardia. The grapes undergo cold maceration and soft pressing. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks and 500-liter French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation is not performed. The wine is aged for five months on the fine lees in both stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, which contributes to its texture and complexity.

A quick introduction to Bodegas Pujanza: a relatively young Rioja estate that quickly made its mark with characterful wines.

History and background of Bodegas Pujanza

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.

Location and terroir of Bodegas Pujanza

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.

Grape varieties: Tempranillo and Viura

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.

Specialities: single-vineyard wines and more

  • Hado: entry-level Tempranillo from different parcels, bright fruit, aged 12 months in French oak.
  • Finca Valdepoleo: the original 17.5 ha vineyard at about 630 m altitude, later lending its name to this cuvĆ©e.
  • Norte: one of the highest plots (around 720 m), on limestone soils, powerful yet fresh with striking structure.
  • La Paul: a newer addition, a small vineyard with its own microclimate at about 600 m, fermented spontaneously, partly in concrete and partly in oak. Elegant and balanced.
  • Cisma: a rare bottling from a century-old parcel (La Valcabada), produced in tiny quantities, distinctive in style.
  • AƱadas FrĆ­as: white Viura from the San Juan plot (about 600 m), made only in cooler vintages such as 2007, 2010, and 2013.

Interesting facts about Bodegas Pujanza

- 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 PeƱƭn consistently award the wines over 90 points.
