The grape
Where it's from
Navarra
Spain
North of Rioja, stretching up towards the Pyrenees. Long famous for vibrant Garnacha rosado, Navarra now makes a bit of everything: juicy Garnacha and Tempranillo reds, Bordeaux-style blends and fresh whites. A cooler north and warmer south give real variety. Reliable quality at excellent prices.

More from Liso Veinte →The story behind it
The Society of Vintners Ltd is a consortium that has 26 members covering the whole of the British Isles. The majority of Society Member companies are family-owned independent enterprises whose owner-managers have decided to band together with like-minded entrepreneurs operating broadly similar companies. The objective is to obtain competitive rates for an interesting and satisfying range of wines which are offered exclusively for sale through the consortium's network. This emphasis on near-exclusivity is a major point of difference between the national operators and the independent members of the consortium.
