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]

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.
