Unveiling Navarra: From Garnacha Wines to Medieval Villages

The region features rolling vineyards, majestic mountain peaks, and fertile valleys, creating a varied landscape ideal for viticulture. It’s also dotted with medieval towns and ancient structures, reflecting its regal heritage.

Navarra enjoys a mix of continental and Mediterranean climates. The influence of the nearby Pyrenees and the Ebro River contributes to diverse microclimates, enhancing the complexity of the wines.

The soils are varied, ranging from clay and limestone to alluvial deposits, providing excellent conditions for cultivating a range of grape varieties.

The region is renowned for its Garnacha (Grenache), used for vibrant rosés and reds. Other notable varieties include Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay.

Navarre, stretching between the Pyrenean peaks and the gentle plains of the Ebro, guards a winemaking heritage as diverse as its landscapes. This land, shaped by centuries of history and cultural confluence, has cultivated enological traditions that blend ancestral wisdom with daring modernity. Its wines, reflections of varied microclimates and soils, range from the fresh and fragrant Garnacha rosés —true emblems of the region— to structured and elegant reds crafted from Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Alongside these, small productions of delicate whites, often from old Viura or Chardonnay vines, whisper of a lesser-known yet vibrant Navarre.

Winemaking here holds a delicate balance between reverence for traditional practices —such as manual harvesting and minimal intervention— and an innovative spirit that embraces sustainable methods and freer expressions of the terroir. Each glass of Navarrese wine thus becomes a dialogue between the wildness of the land and the industrious soul of those who interpret it.
