Pujanza Norte
This wine consists of 60% Tempranillo with the remaing 40% consisting of Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo. 18 months in new French oak before bottling without filtration. Robert Parker has described this wine as having 'more complex perfume than the Pujanza cuvee...concentrated palate with layers of falavour, incipient complexity, and enough fine-grained tannin to evolve for 3-5 years.'

| Robert Parker 94 Points | Deep crimson coloured, it has more complex perfume than the Pujanza cuvee. Aromas of sandalwood, graphite espresso, Asian spices, lavendar, and wild black fruits lead to a round, voluminous, concentrated palate with layers of flavour, incipient complexity, and enough grained tannin to evolve for 3-5 Years |
