Meet the Winemaker | Viña Elena | 6th February 2025

We are really excited to have Fernando Pacheco join is from Vinaelena on Thursday 6th February 2025. Vina Elena is known for producing high-quality wines in Jumilla on the Eastern Coast of Spain. The wines consistently receive accolades and high ratings from wine critics and enthusiasts. There is meticulous attention to detail in the winemaking process and the resultant wines are then aged in barriques until they reach perfect maturity. It is only then they are released to customers.
 
The greatness of Vina Elena can be attributed to a combination of superior wine quality, an excellent terroir, sustainable practices, a balanced approach to innovation and tradition, a passionate team, a diverse wine portfolio, rich cultural heritage, customer engagement, prestigious awards, and effective distribution. These elements together create a renowned and respected winery that stands out in the global wine industry. We are delighted to have brought the first Vina Elena wines into Ireland and even more excited to welcome Fernando Pacheco to Dublin to bring us on a journey of the wines his family produces.
 
It will be an exceptional evening of gastronomic treats and wines to savour, sip and cherish. Winemaking in Spain has never before seen such diversity, such style and such class. Younger winemakers are embracing freshness in their wines, alternative ways of ageing their wines other than just oak and the use of amphora and concrete tanks and the results are staggering. Vina Elena is one such winery that is producing world class wines right now. We are delighted to be the first to import these wines into Ireland.
 
The evening will be hosted by WineOnline.ie with Fernando Pacheco of Vina Elena and it will be held in Bang Restaurant, Dublin 2.
 
This is a unique opportunity to enjoy three courses while tasting through over six premium wines from Vinaelena, including and not limited to: 
 
Encebras 2023 (Airén): Skin-contact white wine with biological ageing. Really rare and small production.
Particiones 2023: field blend between Monastrell & Airén. Clairette style. Delicate, fresh and sublime!
Marin 2023: Monastrell from the southern subzone. Fruit-driven Monastrell
Finca CQ 2023: Monastrell from the northern subzone. Vertical/mineral Monastrell
Vereda 2022: Single-vineyard Monastrell from a specific type of soil. Bold Monastrell.
 
This promises to be a great evening and with one eye on the festive season. These dinners are supported and subsidised by WineOnline.ie and their partners, so that consumers attending get to try some sensational wines.
