Spain, DO Navarra
Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Merlot
Description
Izar is the Navarre-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 when we can recognise the light of this land in all its clarity within the wine.

Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation at a maximum of 30ºC and 30 days of maceration. Commercial yeasts not used. Malolactic fermentation in barrels.
Vineyard
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.
Maturation
18 months in 225-litres French-oak barrels.
