The 1995 Vega Sindoa Viaura/Chardonnay (a blend of 75% of the former and 25% of the latter) reveals the new modern day style of Spanish white wines. It is clean, dry, and medium-bodied, with a nice texture, fresh, lively fruit, and admirable vibrancy. Although not a husky wine, it is refreshing as well as a fine bargain. Drink it over the next 8-12 months. Bodegas Nekeas is one of the most progressive, modern wineries in northern Navarra. They are doing considerable experimentation in one of the cooler micro-climates of this area. If you haven't already figured it out, I'll say it again - these wines are exceptional bargains.
