Becaira is the name of a single vineyard in the Nekeas Valley planted with old vines of Grenache with more than 70 years of age and also some Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2003 they unusually ripened at the same time so Concha Vecino, the winemaker, decided to make a special one-off blend of the two parcels of grapes, comprising of 50% of each. A mineral and spicy nose overlaid with cassis lead to ripe black fruit in the mouth with silky tannins and a long, pure finish.
