Tasting with Nekeas — Unoaked Chardonnay

Navarra
Chardonnay
The Chardonnay is sourced from vineyards planted 25 years ago on trellises on the slopes of the Nekeas valley. These vineyards are dry farmed and cared for without the use of fungicides, pesticides, or herbicides.
Sustainable
The vineyards are planted in clay soils on the slopes of the Nekeas Valley.
The oldest vineyards are Garnacha, planted in clay based soils at 600M in elevation between 80 and 130 years ago. There are 40 separate tiny plots of old clones of indigenous Garnacha. The majority of the Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay were planted in 1990 on trellises, although there are several small plots of Cabernet Sauvignon that are pre-phylloxeric.
Fermented in stainless steel - bottled early to preserve freshness.
