About El Pacto del Alto Najerilla

When he was just ten years old, he carried out his first harvest. And this was followed by 67 more. Until his death, Jesús Acha knew how to love and cherish the vineyards of Cárdenas, his village in the Valle del Alto Najerilla of La Rioja. Today, all this love and affection comes across through Viñedos El Pacto and wines like El Pacto del Alto Najerilla.

Traditionally, this vineyard, located in La Rioja Alta, was a place where grapes were slow to ripen. Its 600 metres of altitude, with a mainly cool climate, made this difficult. However, climate change and the increase in average temperature have made this a thing of the past. So, what used to be almost impossible, has now become a selection of fresh white wines like El Pacto del Alto Najerilla.

Two macerations (one with whole bunches for 24 hours and the other for six hours with the skins) are the key to making El Pacto del Alto Najerilla. With all this time, where the must is in contact with the skins, aromas and flavours will be extracted from this white wine. The Viura, Malvasía, Garnacha Blanca and Jaina used for this are grown organically in clay soils, with high iron and stone content, which give an unmistakable and unavoidable mineral touch. After this, all the grapes are taken to the press to obtain the must. This must will be left to settle cold for a period of time to allow all the suspended plant substances, which can contribute unpalatable touches, to decant and the liquid to be cleaned. Only then is El Pacto del Alto Najerilla ready for fermentation, spontaneously and using native yeasts. Finally, and before finishing, El Pacto del Alto Najerilla is transferred to oak foudres and bocoyes to spend almost half a year in contact with its lees.

El Pacto del Alto Najerilla is the fruit of a passion, a life dedicated to the vineyard and viticulture, in its most traditional and austere version. Perhaps the most authentic way to relate to the vines.

2022

El Pacto del Alto Najerilla 2022 offers a nuanced journey through its subtly mature personality and gently fragrant essence. On the nose, it greets us with a bouquet of scents reminiscent of fresh hay and stone fruits such as peach, all enshrouded in a delicate veil of cream and fine pastry notes. On the palate, it reveals a well-structured body, with a creamy texture that caresses the senses, leaving an impression of sophistication and harmony.
2021

El Pacto del Alto Najerilla 2021 is a very attractive and bright mineral white with a straw yellow colour. The nose is complex, with notes of hay, cream and pastries. Citrus fruits appear in the background. The palate is long, structured and full-bodied. Very fresh. Acidic and very glyceric. Really quite something.
