Navarra is a large, diverse region with a wide range of soil types and mesoclimates. It's known for its red blends, and winemakers take full advantage of the variety of growing conditions at their disposal to craft an astonishing range of styles. Navarra's main grape is Tempranillo, but Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are also tremendously important. The 2012 Otazu Premium Cuvée is a Cab, Merlot and Tempranillo blend from a very successful vintage. Enjoy with lamb or beef stew.
