The Story
Viñedos El Pacto is a journey back to the roots of the most authentic Rioja—a commitment to reviving village wines and traditional viticulture. This Vintae project was born in Alto Najerilla and Sonsierra, two historic regions where old vines have thrived for generations, cultivated with deep respect for nature’s rhythms. Here, the vineyard comes first, with every plot preserving biodiversity and safeguarding a unique genetic
heritage passed down through time, capturing the purest expression of its origin.
Riojanda is a hidden gem in the sea of vineyards of the Sonsierra — two tiny plots, planted in 1920, totalling just over a third of a hectare. Despite its small size, it is a viticultural Noah’s Ark, home to a multitude of varieties and clones. The organic and biodynamic viticulture practiced here results in a very low yield,
with less than one kilo per vine.

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.
