New DO in Rioja? | Meiningers Wine Business International

New DO in Rioja? There could soon be a new DO in the Rioja Alavesa subregion / Credit: DOCa Rioja The movement in the DOCa Rioja is not new: For years, numerous producers in Spain s best-known origin have been trying to split off from the DOCa Rioja. They are all located in the Alavesa sub-region on the northern bank of the Ebro. This is where some of Rioja s highest quality wines grow. Under the Basque-Spanish name Arabako Mahastiak/Viñedos de Álava they now want to go their own DO ways, as various media report. Both the Basque and the Spanish governments have agreed to this step. The initiative will now be submitted to Brussels for approval.

Rioja leaves bad taste in the mouth for Basque winemakers

The Rioja denomination embraces three regions: La Rioja, part of Navarra and the Basque province of Álava. More than 50 Rioja Alavesa winemakers now want to break away and have created their own denomination, the somewhat unwieldy Arabako Mahastiak/Viñedos de Álava. The move has won the approval of the ruling Basque Nationalist party and the government in Madrid, which depends on the Basques for its parliamentary majority. The denomination now goes to the European Union for approval.
