RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

In 2003, La Melonera embarked on an extensive research project to recover a native grape variety, Andalusian Melonera, that was essentially wiped out by phylloxera. While they only have about 2.5 acres of the grape under vine, it constitutes the largest surface area in the world dedicated to the grape.
