The Character
Overall Complex, elegant and fresh
Aromas Complex, with notes of hay, cream and pastries
Mouthfeel Structured, great acidity and rounded by its silky sensation
Tasting Notes Straw yellow of medium intensity, with a very attractive shine that gives it great luminosity in the glass. Complex, with notes of hay, cream and pastries, as well as citrus nuances in the background. Long, with very good acidity, and at the same time a lot of structure. The tactile sensations generated by the interaction between the aging oak and the freshness of the grape stand out. But it also stands out for its fullness and creaminess in the mouth, the result of a complete maturation in the vineyard, where the low production of old vines contributes to the richness of its bunches. A wine structured by its great acidity and rounded by its ample silky sensation.
Selling Point A vibrant expression of Rioja's terroir
Pairings Risottos, foie-gras, pasta, seafood, sushi, white fish, cured cheeses.
Awards 93pts Tim Atkin, 92pts James Suckling

The Story
The freshness of Alto Najerilla in harmony with the natural rhythms of the old vineyard.
Viñedos El Pacto is a tribute to our forefathers, with a generation dedicated to preserving the precious wine history of Alto Najerilla and La Sonsierra, two Rioja regions with strong ties to our roots.
Historically, these regions have been almost entirely dedicated to vine cultivation. El Pacto means returning to that throwback viticulture, which takes care of the environment, with the minimum possible intervention, which does not seek the highest production, but allows nature to follow its vital course.
Craftsmanship is a natural stage in the development of this raw material: manual harvesting, spontaneous fermentation, and respectful aging to highlight the results of diligent labor in unique vineyards that express themselves through the wine.

About El Pacto
Producer Story
El Pacto (The Pact) is a pledge to fight against the
disappearance of genuine village wines. It is a look into the past and the origins of the purest Rioja, a tribute to the winegrowers who breathed life into rural areas and to that gentle routine where time, proximity and the community are greatly cherished.
Viñedos El Pacto is a tribute to the ancestors of Richi
Arambarri and Raúl Acha, the driving forces behind the
project, to the people who endeavoured, more than 50 years ago, to preserve a precious wine-growing heritage for the future while avoiding the rush to industrialise wine production. A return to small-scale farming, to the vineyards and the sites, to natural viticulture —a pact that, now more than ever, is absolutely necessary.
