Finca Valdepoleo is one of Pujanza's most emblematic vineyards. A vineyard characterised by a soil with more clay in its composition than the one that gives rise to Pujanza Norte, and where each year Carlos San Pedro and his team carry out precise work on parcels of land following orographic criteria. The 2011 vintage year was the right time to launch his own wine, called in full Pujanza Finca Valdepoleo, a limited production wine, authentic in every single vintage. Finca Valdepoleo is a classy wine. Elegant. Fruit-forward. It reflects the Tempranillo's character extremely well, delivering very ripe and fresh fruit, blackberries and blueberries, yet the ageing notes starting things off —definitely very well integrated—, sweet toasty touches, aromas of incense and charcoal, fine wood, subtle leather, aromas of undergrowth and damp leaves, with a dry undertone of tobacco... which might lead us to suppose a blend with an international varietal. An interesting, evocative wine, particularly evocative on the nose. Finca Valdepoleo is also a Rioja in every sense of the word. It pleases lovers of both classic and modern Rioja. It's been made expertly and very tastefully. It has moderate acidity, making it especially pleasant on the palate, and setting the wine up for really decent cellaring. The primary aromas stand out and the fruit is powerful, yet at no point does it show any excesses of concentration nor overwhelm, just enveloped by a pleasing minerality and balsamic touch. Such a pleasure to drink. NOTE: With differences according to the nature of each vintage, this wine began exhibiting its finest qualities from the fourth year. We recommend aerating or decanting this wine half an hour before serving.
