The Minister of Economic Development, Sustainability and Environment of the Basque Government, Arantxa Tapiahas stated that, if there are wineries in Álava that want to take advantage of the Viñedos de Álava denomination, the executive will “give them the opportunity to do so” and pointed out that it is an “absolutely private” decision.
Tapia thus referred to the dispatch to Brussels by the Ministry of Agriculture of the file for Viñedos de Álava to create a designation of origin outside the DOC Rioja and, after being asked whether the Basque government could allow it, while in Brussels , at the request of some producers.
“If there is a group of wineries that is interested in being able to take advantage of that denomination, we will of course give them the opportunity to do so. they will be the ones who think they have to do it. We have to carry out the corresponding administrative act,” he specified.
The transmission of the administrative file to create the Designation of Origin Viñedos de Álava to the European Commission does not “surprise” the Regulatory Council of the Qualified Designation of Origin (DOCa) Rioja, but “it is clearly contradictory”, confirmed its general manager, Jose Luis Lapuente
“It contradicts him – he said – because it is a project that was born in a clandestine way, without a defined basis, in an artificial way and therefore, in the opinion of the Regulatory Council of the DOCa Rioja, should not flourish , which includes the communities of Riojan, Basque and Navarre.
For its part, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, louis planes, has defended the value of the “brand” Rioja in the Senate. For example, Planas answered the senator’s questions in the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of the Senate Idurre Bideguren (ERC-EH Bildu group).
the minister of agriculture @LuisPlanas confirm the senator @IdurreBideguren that the designation of origin #ArabakoMahastiak has already been sent to the EU.
