Solana de Ram\u00edrez has a long history of white winemaking. Javier Ram\u00edrez de la Piscina and his brothers Romualdo and Vicente have been producing quality red wines (young, aged, and reserve wines) their entire lives. They began producing Solana de Ram\u00edrez white wine in 2010.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Initially, a 100% Viura wine was made and now it has evolved into a wine that is a blend of four different varieties:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Since the DOCa Rioja approved the planting and use of different white grape varieties for the production of different white wines in 2007, Solana de Ram\u00edrez has opted to use them to enhance traditional Rioja varieties such as Viura.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
