The cities of Donostia and Hondarribia host from June 22 to July 1 the route for wine lovers with D.O. Navarra that will tour the bars of more than 40 participating bars. These establishments will offer their emblematic pintxo recommended with a white, rosé or red Navarra.
From June 22 to July 1, around 40 bars in the Gipuzkoan towns of Donostia and Hondarribia will host the Navarra Wine Lovers Route. A tour of some of the most exquisite bars in both cities where you can enjoy their most emblematic pinchos recommended with a wine from the D.O. Navarra. The appellation is one of the few in the country that offers a delicious range of white, rosé and red wines.
The region is a real treasure trove for the wine culture aficionado, because its borders contain five zonesTierra Estella, Valdizarbe, Baja Montaña, Ribera Alta and Ribera Baja. The majority of these wineries make white wines with the Chardonnay grape variety, with or without aging. These are the traditional ones, but in the wineries' spirit of contributing to the wines Sauvignon Blanc is used for other nuances and others, with the intention of recovering minority native varieties, opt for Garnacha Blanca and Moscatel de Grano Menudo. All of them are the white queens. On the other hand, the fame of Navarra rosés goes beyond borders due to their marked identity, which is the expression of a land. Produced only with red grapes, mostly Garnacha, their quality is ensured by the method of elaboration: must bleeding. To obtain a bottle of rosé from our appellation of origin, 2 or 3 kilos of red grapes are needed. It is made with the "yolk" or "flower" must, which is the first must extracted from the grapes without using any type of pressing. Finally, the personality of the red wines of the D.O. Navarra lies in their nobility because they are the faithful reflection and testimony of a territory. Produced with Tempranillo and Garnacha in their majority, young or with medium or long barrel aging, these wines are identified by their fruitiness and the freshness of belonging to the northernmost vineyards of the Iberian Peninsula.
The participating establishments on the Navarra Wine Lovers Route will offer these wines and their pintxos at a special price. "Guipúzcoa is part of the area of influence of the Navarra Denomination of Origin. There we feel at home because our wines are valued and appreciated in important localities such as San Sebastian and Hondarribia..", says the president of the D.O. Navarra, David Palacios.
