The grape referred to as Malvasía Riojana is in reality unrelated to other aromatic Malvasía and is the same grape known as Alarije in Extremadura and Subirat Parent in Penedès. Malvasía is a grape that almost disappeared from Rioja as it's sensitive to botrytis and grape growers don't want to hear about it. Even though, the 2013 Malvasía is more aromatic than any of the other varietal whites, but it's not an explosion; it's more balsamic and subtle, with notes of bay leaf. The palate is medium-to full -bodied with acidity, but doesn't come through as fresh as the Torrontés or the Garnacha Blanca, and you feel the alcohol a little more. Still, it's a fresh example. The wine is produced from vines averaging 30 years old mixed with other varieties in a diversity of vineyards and there is more of it than most of the other whites (except Viura). 2,880 bottles produced.
