In Rioja, barely 395 hectares of this variety are grown, representing 0.7% of the Denominación. It is regarded as indigenous and its Spanish origin is internationally accepted. Of the authorised red grape varieties it is the one which occupies the least surface area of vine in Rioja and, unlike the previous ones, it is not grown in significant quantities in other areas.
It is more resistant to pests and diseases than Tempranillo. It produces a bright red coloured must, with considerable acidity and a pleasant, characteristic bouquet. It is the most aromatic of all our varieties. It is important to gain better understanding of this grape variety in view of the likely increase of this grapevine in Rioja in the coming years.
