In Spain, a vino de pago is a wine that comes from a specific vineyard that has obtained the highest category of recognition due to the uniqueness of its terroir, considering factors such as soil, climate and altitude.

Since 2009, Otazu has stood out as one of only 23 wineries in Spain to have
achieved this prestigious recognition. This allows them to produce wines under their
own Protected Designation of Origin, known as Pago de Otazu PDO.
