Black-cherry red, clear and bright. On the nose, it is young and full of life, with the classic red-berry fruit aromas of the local Tempranillo with floral and very subtle light toasted notes. On the palate, it is powerful and expressive with good acidity, keeping it fresh and easy to drink with lovely polished tannins.

Founded by Carlos San Pedro in 1998 at the age of 25 with 15 Hectares inherited from his family, Bodegas Pujanza has become in just over two decades a true “First-Growth” in Rioja Alavesa, making unforgettable estate-grown single-vineyard, high-altitude wines that showcase exuberant fruit, finesse and beautiful integration. Over the years, Carlos tirelessly sourced and acquired some of the most unique old-vine plots in the region adding up to nearly 40 Hectares.

"Everything we do in the bodega is conceived in order to ensure the wine does not lose its connection with the vineyard. We believe in the terroir".  Carlos San Pedro
