The richness and contrast of landscapes and the confluence of climates make D.O. Navarra a unique and exceptional region in the north of Spain . Its location, with some of the most northerly vineyards in the country, gives great freshness to all its wines, a hallmark of its nature and character. Garnacha is Navarra's most emblematic variety. Its capacity to transmit the landscape is unique and it manages to express, like no other variety, the great geographical richness and the typicality of the wines of each production area. Navarrese Garnacha is much fresher than that of other regions, less alcoholic and with a singular acidity. It is aromatic and tasty. An explosion of fresh fruit that responds perfectly to current trends. Navarra is also the region of rosé par excellence. It is the origin of this colour in Spain and the market leader. D.O. Navarra rosés are fresh, light and very versatile.
