This is not a conventional ranking or classification, but an editorial selection that recognises wines with identity, depth and the ability to move the drinker. Jesús Acha Blanco 2018 is a tribute to the father of Raúl Acha, winegrower and technical director at Vintae. A wine that honours a lifetime spent among vineyards in his hometown of Cárdenas, and that represents the pinnacle of Viñedos El Pacto project.<\/p>\n
In the words of critic Beth Willard, Jesús Acha Blanco 2018 “recalls the great white wines of Burgundy”, although —she notes— it is “an extraordinary wine in its own right”.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]
It stands out for its aromatic complexity, marked by subtle reduction, its saline character, and an enveloping, broad and precise texture, supported by impeccable acidity. A deep, contemporary white wine, made primarily from Viura, complemented by small proportions of traditional local varieties.
This Decanter selection brings together wines that transcend styles and fashions; each of these wines “has a unique story to tell about place, people and passion for wine. What is in the glass matters far more than a number,” the article states.
For Richi Arambarri, founder of Viñedos El Pacto, this is “a recognition that is not celebrated as a destination, but as another step along a path defined by rigour and coherence, and by the conviction that looking to the past —to those who came before us— helps us to secure the future”.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/vintae.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jesus-acha.jpg\" alt=\"jesus acha\" title_text=\"jesus acha\" _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
