Garnacha is considered a native variety in Spain, and in the course ofits long history clones have evolved, adapted to soil and climate conditionsin different geographical areas.
Garnacha grapes are particularly useful for young red wines, or wines for drinking in their first or second year, whether varietal or blended with other varieties.
Garnacha is the dominant variety in most of the province's municipalities, and has been for many years, though the figures for the last 20 years show an increase in plantings of white varieties such as Viura and Garnacha Blanca.

 TodoVino, The Spanish Wine Specialist
Previously, the only great red wine to have been produced from Garnacha grapes was the Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the Rhone valley in France (although, needless to say, no mention was made of the grape on their labels, in line with the European tradition).
In difficult years, Garnacha needs the support of other grapes; to stand alone, it has to come from a particularly singular and privileged vineyard (of which, sadly, there seem to be but a few).
Garnacha’s dominion is strong throughout Catalonia, Aragón, Navarra and Rioja, and although it fades gently as it moves southwards through La Mancha, Valdepeñas and the Levante, the grape is still quite present in Méntrida, Toledo, Ávila and San Martín de Valdeiglesias (Madrid).

Naturally, Tempranillo tends to be lower in acidity and more "malic," which means that wines made solely from this varietal will hold back their color but not loose fruit over time.
Generally, Tempranillo is blended with small amounts of Garnacha, Mazuelo and/or Graciano to compensate for lack of acidity and longevity.
The wines from Garnacha tend to have a more fruity, sweet flavor, which makes them perfect for Rosés.

 Oct 2005 - Hot Spanish Wines
From the juicy, delicious wines made from Grenache, or Garnacha as it is called in its native land, to the supple and aged Tempranillo wines with their strong mouthwatering flavors of strawberry, cherry, plums, flberry, and vanilla, Spain has so much to tempt the price minded wine lover.
Yes, the Spanish have Garnacha (Grenache), and Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cariñena (Carignan), the indigenous white grapes, and sherry of course, but it is Tempranillo that forms the base of Spain’s greatest red wine –; what is often called their ‘Lafite’ – Vega Sicilia’s ‘Unico’, and nearly all of the other great wines of Spain.
Priorato, where Garnacha had been utilized for over 800 years, began to gain a name for itself on the world stage and flying winemakers descended upon Spain with a new verve and began employing new, cleaner techniques in the rest of Spain’s vast plantings of the grape.

Two historical facts of note about Navarra are that there has been a recent discovery of vines that have been dated to five million years ago, and in the Eleventh Century AD, when Navarra was a separate kingdom; the region played a key role in Christian Spain because conquering Moors could not penetrate the area.
