A True First Growth In Rioja

Pure Origin. As the latest addition to Pujanza family, La Paul vineyard, situated on a hillside facing east on the slopes of the town of Laguardia, stands out for its essence and personality. 

Intense cherry-red colour with violet glints. A powerful mouth-feel with subtle fruity notes of wild berries and minerality reflects the influence of lime soils from which the grape is derived.
