Nekeas El Chaparral De Vega Sindoa, Old Vines Garnacha

The vineyards of El Chaparral, located in the village of Anorbe, mark the boundary between the grape-growing areas of the Nekeas Valley and the native woods of small oak trees known as chaparro. These plots’ Garnacha vines are at least 60 years old. The combination of the vines’ age, the microclimate, and the soil’s condition results in a wine with lavish varietal aromas.

The Nekeas El Chaparral De Vega Sindoa is a Garnacha from vines that are nearly 70 years old. Cuvée and fermentation were done individually from each plot, with an average maceration time of 20 days, with at least 8 of those days being cold. Malolactic fermentation and barrel aging happens for five to six months.

The El Chaparral by Nekeas has a vivid garnet color, and is full of raspberry and pomegranate fruit notes, with a hint of white pepper that indicates it is created from old-vine Garnacha. Unlike many Garnachas, though, this isn’t overpowering or alcoholic; rather, it’s light and refreshing.
