CUVÉE ESPECIAL
Izar de Nekeas
In the upper regions of the Valley of Nekeas, grapes find their fullest expression. Roots must delve deep in order to draw water and minerals to feed vine and grape. The grapes are small and concentrated, giving rise to a wine with magnificent potential for ageing.
Izar is the Basque word for ‘Star’ and this wine is, therefore, the star of Nekeas and, as such, must always shine. It is only made and released onto the market in those years in which we can recognise the light of this land in all its clarity in the wine.
