August/11 wines...

From my point of view it looks like if after the approval of new grapes in DOC La Rioja a rebirth of the old white ones happened.

Is it true that Rioja was mainly planted with white grapes until the French merchants came looking for replacement grapes?
I was told this while in the region last year.

Se non è vero, è ben trovato ;) I've read this overhere and overthere as well.

I read it today. Take a look on numbers on 1985 compared with the current ones.

Well, it is difficult to compare this wine with other Spanish whites ... it's not like a classic Tondonia, nor like a in-between Capellania,....

At this moment is does not exist a market for this white wines... I think it is just an investment... just in case ;-) Le's time go by...
