In 1998, at the age of 25, Carlos decided to set up his own bodega with one of the family vineyards planted by his father. La Viña Grande (also known as Finca Valdepoleo) has 15 hectares and lies at over 600 metres of altitude under the protective shadow of Sierra de Cantabria. Initially, both the vineyards and the winemaking facilities belonged to the family. But Carlos was determined to recover the fundamental roots of Rioja, with his eyes clearly focussed on the terroir, with his own grapes and wines from a single vineyard plot and in 2001 the first vintage was produced from the current bodega. Pujanza currently works 40 hectares of vines, all within the boundaries of Laguardia. The aim of Carlos San Pedro is to create harmonic wines, always with a right balance between fruit and ageing, with elegant and deep palates carrying in their name the landmark of a region. In 2021 Tim Atkin, wine writer and Master of Wine, placed Pujanza as one of Rioja's 'First Growths' in his Bordeaux style of classification for the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBODEGAS Y VIÑEDOS PUJANZA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"The official website of Bodegas y Viñedos Pujanza\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bodegaspujanza.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Like Bodegas Pujanza on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bodegaspujanza\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Follow Bodegas y Viñedos Pujanza on Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bodegaspujanza\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bodegas-pujanza-valdepoleo-rioja","title":"Bodegas Pujanza Valdepoleo Rioja 2019\/20","description":"\u003cp\u003eFinca Valdepoleo is one of the most emblematic vineyards of Bodegas y Viñedos Pujanza. The wine it produces is a clear example of the nature of the area in which it is located, but given a personal touch by Carlos San Pedro. From this dual character comes a fresh, vibrant, very subtle wine which is in total harmony. The Tempranillo for Valdepoleo comes from a vineyard that is divided into seven plots which are worked separately from the harvest to the end of cask ageing. At this stage, through blind tasting, the decision is made on what percentage of wine from each plot will go into the final coupage delivering a wine of great complexity. Matured for 14 months in French oak Valdepoleo displays intense, warm aromas of red-berry fruit with subtle notes of black fruit and scented blossom. The palate is delicate and well rounded.
