| | What are the wines like? | | | |  Navarre wines are, in general, aromatic, with flavours that are almost fruity, with a good balance between alcohol content and acidity, smooth on the palate. The whites have yellowish tones, fine aromas, with a crisp taste. The rosés, for their part, are rightly renowned for of their unmistakable character: they are dry, crisp and delicate. The red wines produced with this Designation of Origin are equally exquisite. The most popular grape in use in the region is the Garnacha variety. |
| | How to get there | | | |  This route runs through the centre of the region of Navarre, in northern Spain. There are various means of transport available to get to there. The airport in Pamplona-Noain is less than 30 kilometres from the region. Furthermore, there are various daily rail services that run between Tafalla and Olite, the main towns on the route, and, Vitoria, Pamplona and Zaragoza. It is also easy to get here by car: the A-15 motorway (Leitzaran motorway) links the region with Pamplona and San Sebastián; there is the AP-68, that runs to Logroño and Zaragoza, and the A-12, motorway, that also heads towards Logroño. |
