Wine Region Navarra

Baztan Navarra

Navarra is located north of Rioja in north eastern Spain.

Navarra is best known for the dry rosé wine Navarra Rosado.

In addition, Navarra also produces high quality Garnacha and Garnacha Blanca.

The Tempranillo wines from Navarra are similar to those of Rioja but less expensive.

Quality examples of red wines based on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir are also produced.

An increasing demand has pushed Spain to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in different regions such as Catalonia, Navarra and La Mancha.

In Navarra, Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with Tempranillo, Garnacha and Monastrell.
