VINTAE PRESENTS RESTRUCTURING PLAN WITH FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO SAFEGUARD THE FUTURE OF BODEGAS RIOJANAS
Vintae has signed a Restructuring Plan together with the financial institutions involved in the process, aimed at safeguarding the future of the historic winery group Bodegas Riojanas.
Richi Arambarri, CEO and founder of Compañía de Vinos Vintae, the company behind wine projects such as Hacienda López de Haro, Viñedos El Pacto, Matsu, Bardos, Le Naturel and Pandemonium, stated that the company’s main motivation is “to preserve Rioja’s heritage, a legacy that cannot be lost and for which we must take responsibility, both as people from Rioja and as winemakers”.
“Rioja is going through a period of transformation and uncertainty, but we are fully aware of the historical importance of a century-old winery group such as Bodegas Riojanas, one of the founding names of Rioja, with renowned brands that helped place the region on the international wine map,” stressed the CEO.
Arambarri explained that “this is a commitment to our land; it is about honouring and preserving the legacy we have inherited from Rioja and its history”. He added:
“We are a young company, and taking on the responsibility of a century-old winery group is both an honour and a major challenge. We firmly believe we can help restore the prestige and strength that the winery and its brands have represented for decades.”
Bodegas Riojanas includes historic and internationally recognised brands such as Viña Albina, Monte Real and Puerta Vieja, among others, all of them deeply linked to the history and development of Rioja.
Vintae is a company with two decades of remarkable growth, defined by its innovative and forward-thinking approach. For Arambarri, “integrating Bodegas Riojanas into the Vintae universe and structure will be a demanding but deeply exciting journey”.
In recent years, Vintae has successfully consolidated its brands both in Spain and internationally, while its wines have earned significant global recognition, supported by outstanding scores from the industry’s leading guides, critics and competitions.
