Alarije is a minor variety of white wine grape from Spain. It is most often used in blends.[1]

History

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

Spain

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

To thrive in Extremadura, it must be tolerant of heat and drought.

Synonyms

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]
