They found a "special" variety of white grapes in Arellano

The variety called 'Musa' is "a milestone for the wine-growing sector in Navarre," said Rural Development and Environment Advisor Jose Mari Aierdi. 

The Department of Viticulture and Enology of Navarre, EVENA, has recovered a new variety of white grapes and has been named 'Musa'in reference to the place where it was found, the village of Arellano, near the Roman archaeological site known as the 'Villa of the Muses'.

The moles obtained have "excellent qualities in the main oenological parameters: they have great alcohol potential and extreme acidity", which makes it "perfect for making wines with ageing potential, while being an excellent opportunity to form other wine-making typologies".

At an event held at the Enentrum Centre for Wine Culture in Navarre in Olite, where the varietal has been presented and will be able to grow in the Foral Community from next year, the Councillor for Rural Development and the Environment, José Mari Aierdi , pointed out that the identification 'Musa' has opened up a new opportunity for Navarre wine-growing.

In the ongoing research, agronomic and oenological controls have been carried out on the vintage harvests of recent campaigns that have been sown on EVENA's experimental farms, and it has been found to have little production, with clusters of grapes and small berries.
