"Bodegas Nekeas, a vineyard/winery in Añorbe, a tiny village in the Valdizarbe valley of Navarra. Not quite 15 years ago, eight families there embarked on a project to reclaim the region’s winemaking traditions by planting Garnacha and Tempranillo grapes. Three years later, they hired Vecino, and in 1994 they sold their first vintage. Today, the winery produces 1.5 million bottles a year of magnificent Chardonnay, Merlot, Tempranillo-Cabernet, and Tempranillo-Merlot and exports its wines all over Europe, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, Japan, and Hong Kong. The wines, which are sold under the Vega Sindoa label in the U.S.A., have received raves from Wine Spectator and from Robert M. Parker, Jr. in Wine Advocate." -JamesBeard.org
