The Rioja wines from Aldeanueva de Ebro and the fleas are the stars of the XV Entreviñas Fair this weekend in the stalls set up in the Plaza de España and its surroundings. This Saturday at 12:00 p.m. the inauguration took place.
The mayor, Ángel Fernández, highlighted “the enthusiasm and desire to showcase our vineyards, wines, wineries and way of being, with music and joy.” He encouraged people to try the wine normally and remembered the manager of Bodegas del Medievo, Joseba (who died in an accident while mountaineering on May 25). Due to this event, the winery has not participated in the event.
The Minister of Agriculture, Noemí Manzanos, attended on behalf of the Government of La Rioja. She said that “this fair causes envy to the rest of the municipalities and Aldeanueva is a benchmark, a sea of vineyards that is part of a denomination that will turn 100 years old in 2025 and of which we all have to be proud.”
He put on the table the need to recover Rioja from being the envy of the rest of the denominations. He asked the entire public to be ambassadors of this product.
The program for this first day included a morning performance by the Tuna Universitaria Complutense de Madrid, a women’s team. In the afternoon there was a concert by the group Son de Rosas (Tribute to La Oreja de Van Gogh).
