Navarra has varied microclimates, which, together with its soils makes it a privileged land for the growing of grapes.

There are over 13,000 vineyards under the Denomination of Origin Navarra, which has been gradually subjected to intense renovations, both in terms of growing techniques and in terms of new grape varieties.
To the traditional grape varieties (Garnacha, Tempranillo and Viura) have been added, this last decade, such renowned varieties as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for red wines and Chardonnay for whites wines.
By joining those vines, the enologists gave place to a wide range of varieties of wines well balanced, modern, with personality and really different from the others.

The Denomination is divided in 5 different sub-areas:
