Vinification
Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards on red loamy soils and Tempranillo vineyards on grey loams from sandstone. Vineyards facing in different directions in the Valley of Nekeas, combining to make for a complex wine. Slow, low-yielding vines to produce grapes that ripen slowly but properly.
Blending takes place after 6 months of initial ageing. The rest of the ageing process takes place with the wine assembled. Slightly fined, no cold stabilisation, cellulose filtered.
Between 12 and 14 months in French-oak barrels. Unfined, unfiltered wine aged in barrels with frequent racking. Kept in the bottle cellar for at least one year.

About Nekeas
Nekeas is a blend of history and modernity thanks to the initiative of a set of families deeply rooted in their land and a good management team, Francisco San Martín as founder and Chairman, Manuel Urricelqui as Technical Head-General Manager and Concha Vecino as Oenologist, all linked with the project from the outset.
