About El Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco

In 1940, when he was only 10 years old, Jesús Acha made his first vintage. The first parcel he worked on was Senda de Haro, a piece of land (barely one hectare) located in the town of Cárdenas, in the Alto Najerilla region of La Rioja. Its conglomerate soils (rich in clay and iron) and royal plantation framework made this winegrower fall in love from the very first moment. Since then Senda de Haro was the "apple of his eye". And it is from that land that today we have El Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco. 

El Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco could not be grown in any other place. Especially considering that this white wine is a tribute to Jesús Acha and the legacy left by this wise man of the vineyard. Specifically, El Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco is made with viura, malvasia, jaina, white grenache and other white varieties grown organically in this corner of the D.O. Ca. of La Rioja. As a general rule, the harvest in the Alto Najerilla region is usually delayed, since the grapes ripen slowly, always maintaining a marked acidity. This is mainly due to three factors: the altitude (between 500 and 600 meters), the orientation of the vineyards (facing north) and the Atlantic climate (with very mild winters and summers). As such, El Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco is usually harvested by hand at the end of September, bringing the grapes quickly to the winery. Here the clusters of El Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco are processed and macerated (for approximately six hours) before being pressed. Once the must has been obtained, El Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco is left to settle, allowing it to be cleaned by decanting, when the herbaceous remains and skins sink to the bottom of the tank. Now it is time for El Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco to transition from must to wine, thanks to spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. In the final part of the fermentation process, El Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco will be transferred to earthenware jars and French oak bocoys, where it will rest for a period of time.

There is no better inheritance than good teaching. And in this case the teaching is not learned; it is tasted. There could be no better legacy than El Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco: the best gift that this great winemaker could leave.

2016

Pacto Jesús Acha Blanco 2016 is a creamy, golden yellow, very bright white wine with greenish tinges. In general it is an intense wine, with a powerful and complex aroma. It offers notes of sweetness, chamomile and white flowers. The palate is unctuous and very agreeable, creamy and full-bodied. Intense and harmonious, with certain mineral notes. Flavorsome and well-balanced acidity. Really quite something!
