The estate is relatively new having been established in 1998 and 'Aroa' is a Basque word that means 'optimum' referring to the ideal time to make wine. Bodegas Aroa is a pioneer in the DO Navarra in organic and biodynamic farming. All the vineyards are organic and follow ancient methods, with only natural products used, allowing nature to do its work.
The soil is clayey - calcareous, fresh, being on the edge of the Mediterranean climate with Atlantic influence climate, sheltered from the Urbasa and Andía.
The dominance of the north wind, along the north-south orientation of the vineyard provides good aeration. To encourage it leaf thinning and pruning are carried out. In addition, they apply infusions of different plants such as horsetail, nettle and sage, which strengthen the plant against possible diseases.
