Reviews

Decanter 95

There's an appealing wildness to this wine. Layers of wild Mediterranean herbs, juniper berry and cherry open to a very satisfying and elegant palate with very well-managed tannins and well-integrated oak. It has the structure and balance of the vintage and even though it will age, it is perfectly drinkable now.

Delicate aromas of red cherries and blackberry with nuances of fresh cut flowers, liquorice and dried hay. Rich on the palate.

Vinous Media 93

The 2021 Riojanda Vinedo Singular is a field blend primarily based on Tempranillo, featuring dashes of Graciano, Mazuelo, Garnacha Tintorera, Malvasia and Viura. It hails from a vineyard planted in 1920 in Navaridas, Rioja and aged for 18 months in new 500-liter French oak barrels. This dark, garnet-hued, primary red unveils balsamic aromas alongside blackberry and blueberry notes. Dry and fairly rich, the chalky texture and vibrant core lead to a flavorful, lasting mouthfeel. It embodies a modern Rioja style.

Technical Details

Ageing

14 months in new 500-liter French oak barrels.

Background

Vinedos El Pacto is a journey back to the roots of the most authentic Rioja—a commitment to reviving village wines and traditional viticulture. is 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.

Tasting notes

Broad and voluminous, with a smooth, inviting entry. The wine offers an enveloping mouthfeel throughout, supported by a solid structure typical of Tempranillo, yet with the velvety texture so characteristic of the Sonsierra. It delivers elegant, tactile sensations and a perfect balance between soness and depth, leaving a lasting impression of harmony and fullness.

Vinification

Destemmed without crushing. Spontaneous fermentation in wooden vats. Malolactic fermentation in new 500-liter French oak barrels.
