What are the wines like?
Navarre wines are, in general, aromatic, with fruity flavours, a good balance between alcohol content and acidity, and smooth on the palate. White wines have yellow tones, fine aromas and a fresh taste. Rosés have a well-deserved reputation for their unmistakable personality: they are dry, fresh and delicate. Equally exquisite are the red wines produced in this Denomination of Origin area. The most widespread grape in the area is the Garnacha variety.
