I tasted two vintages of the varietal white of Malvasía Riojana, which is none other than a grape known as Alarije, completely unrelated to the aromatic Malvasía from Madeira or the Greek Islands. 2017 was marked by frost followed by drought and vey low yields. The 2017 Malvasía was produced with healthy grapes that reached 13.5% alcohol after fermenting in French barriques with neutral yeasts. This is a more Mediterranean expression, with aromatic herbs, hay and straw, even esparto grass, with a tendency to give a honeyed note. 3,418 bottles were filled in March 2018.
