One of the main characteristics that
define the Navarra Appellation of Origin is the great diversity
of landscapes and climates that occur within the 100 kilometres
that separate the northern area, located in the vicinity of Pamplona,
from the south, located on the banks of the Ebro.
And particularly it is Navarra where this exceptional situation
is produced, virtually unique in the Iberian Peninsula, the confluence
of the Atlantic, Continental and Mediterranean climates. The proximity
of the Cantabrian Sea, the influence of the Pyrenees and the prosperity
of the Ebro valley provide this varied climate. Circumstances
that leave a profound mark on the Navarre landscape, where more
than 17,000 hectares of the Appellation of Origin are based on
all types of ecosystems and exploitation situations: slopes, river
banks, plateaus, plains, making way for five different production
areas: Baja Montaña, Valdizarbe, Tierra Estella, Ribera
Alta and Ribera Baja.
The permitted grape varieties are: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano,
Mazuelo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Viura,
Garnacha Blanca, Malvasia, Moscatel Grano Menudo, Chardonnay and
Sauvignon Blanc. |
