The 9 of the Brotherhood

The Navarra Wine Guild held the twenty-ninth edition of the Navarra D.O. Wine Quality Contest, in which nine wines were recognized in different categories. 

In order to contribute to a greater diffusion and knowledge of the wines with D.O. Navarra, the Navarra Wine Guild has celebrated the XXIX Quality Contest of Wines with D.O. Navarra.

This contest aims to reward the efforts made by the wineries and winegrowers that make up the historic appellation in the continuous improvement in the production of their wines.

This competition is carried out by means of a blind tasting that takes place at EVENA's headquarters in Olite. The jury is made up of experts and professionals from the Navarra wine sector.

The Brotherhood has highlighted the excellent quality of the wines submitted to the contest, around one hundred samples.
