Navarra was once famous for producing dry, fruity rosé wines that pair well with hearty local dishes made with Garnacha grapes.
The success of red wines made with Tempranillo led producers to use this variety more heavily, and it is now the mainstay of Navarre's wines. In particular, red wines with concentrated fruit and oak aromas are on trend.
In addition to Tempranillo and Garnacha, red wine varieties based on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir are also highly valued. A small amount of white wine is available, mainly based on Chardonnay, Viura and Garnacha Blanca.
Thanks to investments in modern winemaking equipment and the introduction of international varieties, many new styles of wine have emerged from Navarra, and a group of innovative winemakers are doing much to raise the profile of Navarra. I am.
