Abbreviation for "Estación de Viticultura y Enología de Navarra". Spain 's leading research institute for viticulture and oenology in the north of the city of Olite in the Navarra region has a wide range of tasks. All the important vines for Navarra are cultivated with different rootstocks on different types of soil in numerous experimental facilities. Wine is produced from this every year and the products are analysed using the latest technologies. The findings are passed on to the region's winegrowers and they are informed about the best techniques in the vineyard and cellar.
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
