Bodegas y Vinedos Pujanza Rioja Norte 2015 750ml

Singular vineyard that directly receives the north winds and sits on land where the limestone bedrock is only 50 centimeters from the surface. These two characteristics, together with the altitude (720 meters), give Pujanza Norte a notable freshness and acidity that is maintained vintage after vintage due to the consistency of the vineyard. A powerful and mature wine. With identity, very expressive and difficult to forget.

Tempranillo

There are plenty of notable native Spanish grapes which have made a big impression on the wine world at large, but none are as renowned or as widely loved as the Tempranillo varietal. This black skinned grape has been used for wine making for centuries, with several ancient civilizations noticing the fact that it is highly versatile and holds some delicious flavors and aromas, perfect for those looking for a powerful yet elegant grape for their wines. Tempranillo often causes winemakers some trouble, however, as it is highly susceptible to many diseases. Despite this, plenty continue to persevere with this varietal, as it is perfect for producing delicious and complex single variety and blended wines, packed full of classic Spanish flavors and plenty of aromatic and intense surprises.
