DO Navarre
The proximity of the Cantabrian Sea, the barrier of the Pyrenees and the mild climate of the Ebro Valley make Navarra a unique place on the peninsula for growing grapes. Here Atlantic, continental and Mediterranean climates are found.
This denomination is divided into 5 zones: Baja Montaña, Tierra Estella, Ribera Alta, Valdizarbe and Low Bank, which is where Finca La Cantera is located. In the heart of the Ebro valley and with the Moncayo mountain range in the background, the unique nuances of this plot represent the terroir of the Estate Wines, harvested manually and elaborated with great care in an artisanal way.
Must see are The Bardenas Reales of Navarra. Yes or yes you will fall in love. They were the scene in the sixth season Game of Thrones. This desert Biosphere Reserve of 420 square kilometers is a jewel full of whims of nature.
