Navarra is a Spanish wine region located in the north of the country, just south of the Pyrenees Mountains. It is known for its rich history, diverse topography, and unique climate, which all contribute to the production of some of Spain's most distinctive wines.
Navarra has a long history of winemaking, starting with the ancient Romans, and continuing under the Moors and Christian rule. Demand for wine was also strengthened by the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.CUSTOMER RATING
