Malvasía
There are many Malvasías in the world, but not all of them are considered synonyms of the Malvasía de Rioja, although it is widely considered that their ripe reddish-yellow bunches produce very special white wines, unctuous and very aromatic.
Despite not being a very productive grape and not very resistant to diseases, it has very interesting possibilities for obtaining high quality whites.
