The first plot of white grapes referenced in the records of the Control Board dates back to 1907, in the town of Olite and is Viura. Today, 10% of the vineyard of the D.O. Navarra is destined to white varieties. In total, 1,155 hectares are planted in 2017, an increase of 4% of surface area, compared to the previous year. Positive figures that are also evident in the marketing of D.O. Navarra white wines. In 2017, 4,583,282 liters of white wine were sold so sales increased by 3.10% over the previous year. The increase was led by the domestic market, where Navarra white wines are increasingly in demand.

Navarra."David Palacios, president of the Regulatory Council of the D.O. Navarra, demands.
