It occupies 7,589 hectares (15% of the total surface area) making it the main white grape variety grown in Rioja. Worldwide, 58,000 hectares are cultivated, of which 51,000 hectares are found in Spain. Its Spanish origin is recognised.
It produces a small number of large clusters. It is more productive than the red varieties but its fruit is sensitive to botrytis.
In cool areas it produces a pleasant, acidy must, with a characteristic flavour. Its wine is considered to be appropriate for ageing in wood, which suits the traditional way of making white Riojas.
