Garnacha Blanca '25 Vendimias' Bodegas Nekeas, Navarra, Spain 2022
Garnacha Blanca '25 Vendimias' Bodegas Nekeas, Navarra, Spain 2022
Wines from Navarra offer some of the best value from anywhere in the world, mostly the reds, but also the whites. If you are in any doubt, try this Garnacha Blanca from Bodegas Nekeas. The aromas show apple and lime, but not just the pulp, the rind and the pith too, as well as chalk dust, white rubber, herbal grasses and white flowers. It’s one of those wines that manages to be wonderfully aromatic, yet dry and taut and tangy at the same time. It’s hardly original, but it goes brilliantly with white fish (confirmed to us by several customers). It’s a ‘limited edition’ release to celebrate the producers 25th anniversary. 13.5% alc. Drink now-2026.

Press review:
Decanter: “Unadulterated Garnacha Blanca with camomile, white pepper and limey mezcal aromas. There is great tension here and a marked acidity typical of the variety from this part of Spain. Great minerality on the palate leads to refreshing salinity on the finish. Only 5,555 bottles made to celebrate the producer’s 25th anniversary. Drink now-2026.” 92 points
JancisRobinson.com (previous vintage): “A pleasure to taste a white Garnacha with a great winemaking approach and a sense of place. Beautifully clean and perfumed. Sweet white fruit, flowers, camomile and minerality. It is pretty energetic and tense on the palate, but I also find an elegant creamy flavour and weighty texture. All the components in this wine are seasoned by a touch of salinity. Undoubtedly, a truly complete Garnacha Blanca.” 17 points
