Alarije is a minor variety of white wine grape from Spain. It is most often used in blends.[1]
History
[edit]Alarije is thought to originate in Spain. DNA analysis had shown that it was part of the Malvasia family,[2] but more recent DNA analysis suggests that it is genetically distinct from Malvasia.[3]
Distribution and Wines
[edit]Spain
[edit]Alarije is quite common in Extremadura, particularly in the Cañamero district. It is one of the varieties authorised for the Ribera del Guadiana Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP).[4]
Vine and Viticulture
[edit]To thrive in Extremadura, it must be tolerant of heat and drought.
Synonyms
[edit]Alarije is also known under the synonyms Aceria, Alarije Dorado, Alarije Verdoso, Arin, Aris, Barcelonés, Malvasía de Rioja, Malvasía Riojana, Rojal, Subirat, Subirat Parent, Villanueva, and Villanueva de La Serena.[5]
