- Diversity of climates and landscapes in Navarra:

The wines of the Navarra Denomination of Origin are greatly influenced by the changing climate, landscapes and type of crops. Thus, the designation of origin covers the most diverse wines, although in general terms they tend to stand out for their fresh and fruity character.

This geographical diversity is combined with a climatological confluence that reproduces the 3 major types of climate of the Peninsula within the Navarrese territory: the Atlantic, in the northwest; the continental in the middle part of the region; and the Mediterranean, in the southern lands of Navarra.

Although in Navarra you can find a lot of diversity of wines, it is the rosé wine where the Navarra wines shine with special splendor, since they represent more than 50% of the total production. These rosé wines are appreciated for their freshness, liveliness and intense fruit notes, and are made mainly with grape varieties such as Garnacha and Tempranillo. Navarra's winemaking tradition is reflected in every sip of these wines, which are ideal to pair with the rich local cuisine. The region's commitment to quality and innovation is manifested in each bottle, making Navarra an unforgettable wine destination.

What is the difference between a wine from Rioja and a Wine from Navarra?

Navarra has notable differences with Rioja. Especially with Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa:

• A richer soil: long live the Navarrese garden with its asparagus, its beans, its thistle and so many delicious vegetables!

• A more forgiving climate, with milder temperatures and grateful humidity.

• In general, Navarra has also not been so tied to Tempranillo. There is a lot of Garnacha, the famous Navarra rosés, and also Graciano. But it has also creatively opened up to explore other varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Chardonnay and even Sauvignon Blanc.

Navarro rosé wine, the most precious and recognized of Navarra

Fresh and fruity wine, with a beautiful color in which fruits such as raspberries, currants... appear in the mouth. They are good companions in the hot months, as well as in aperitifs.

They are made from red grapes, almost always Grenache, using the traditional bleeding system, or using only the must obtained by gravity after being subjected to maceration with its skins. Finally, thanks to the rise of natural sweet wines, the traditional Moscatel grape is experiencing a renaissance.

Today the Navarra designation of origin is considered one of the Spanish designations with the most future. The high levels of quality to which its wines have reached and its ample capacity to satisfy consumer expectations are some of the keys that explain the push achieved by its wines, especially the red ones, in recent times.
