Navarra Denomination of Origin
Discover the Navarra D.O., a unique region where the diversity of landscapes and climates gives life to exceptional wines, a reflection of centuries of tradition and authenticity.
Navarra, land of contrasts.
The Navarra Denomination of Origin is distinguished by something extraordinary: the richness and variety of its landscapes and climates, which unfold along the little more than 100 kilometers that link the north, near Pamplona, with the south, on the banks of the Ebro.
Navarre offers a unique natural spectacle in Spain: the convergence of three climatic influences - Atlantic, continental and Mediterranean - thanks to the proximity of the Bay of Biscay, the imposing presence of the Pyrenees, and the softness of the Ebro valley.
This melting pot of climates not only defines the character of the region, but also its landscapes and vineyards.
Across the more than 8,000 hectares that make up the Designation of Origin, the vineyards find their home in environments as diverse as slopes, riverbanks, plateaus, and plains, giving rise to five distinct production areas: Baja Montaña, Valdizarbe, Tierra Estella, Ribera Alta, and Ribera Baja. Each one, with its identity and terroir, contributes to a rich and vibrant Navarra, where wine is the reflection of a land shaped by centuries of history and nature.
Navarra, the freshness of the North and the authenticity of its Garnacha.
Featuring some of the northernmost vineyards in the country, Navarra's privileged location in northern Spain imparts a unique and unmistakable freshness to its wines, which runs through all the styles produced under this Denominación de Origen.
Garnacha, the most emblematic variety of the D.O. Navarra, brings authenticity to the territory. It is the common thread that unites all the subzones of this Denomination, carrying with it the essence of the region. This variety, present in the region since the 17th and 18th centuries, began to gain prominence in the late 19th century thanks to its remarkable resistance to diseases such as powdery mildew. According to a study by EVENA (Navarra Viticulture and Enology Station), the first documented mentions of Garnacha in Navarra date back to 1746.
A unique virtue of Garnacha is its ability to reflect the character of the land where it grows. It is a variety capable of capturing and expressing the differences between various locations and, particularly in Navarra, it adapts exceptionally well to all production zones, enhancing their typicity and distinct personalities.
