Marques de la Real Defensa
Marqúes de la Real Defensa wines are made in the historic town of Olite by a group of young growers and winemakers that are ready to take Navarra forward. They make some 2 million litres of wine per vintage, and we select the best tanks to create the Marques de la Real Defensa line. Located in the region Navarra, the neighbour of Rioja, theses very good winemakers have set their cellars here to create some of the best value wines in Europe from traditional grapes Tempranillo, Garnacha, Viura, Moscatel-, and foreign Cabernet, Merlot and Chardonnay, mainly. This region is also famous for its rose`.
