Tempranillo

Tempranillo is a red grape variety that is one of the most important and widely planted grape varieties in Spain. It is used to make some of Spain's most famous wines, including Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Tempranillo is also known as Tinta del País, Tinta de Toro, Cencibel, and Ull de Llebre in different regions of Spain.

Tempranillo grapes produce wines with a medium to full body and high tannins. The wine has flavors of red and dark fruit, such as cherry, plum, and blackberry, as well as tobacco, leather, and spice. Tempranillo is often aged in oak barrels, which gives the wine additional complexity and a toasty flavor.

The best Tempranillo wines come from the Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions of Spain, where the grape is the dominant variety. Rioja Tempranillo wines are known for their elegant, complex flavors and aromas, while Ribera del Duero Tempranillo wines are known for their full-bodied, powerful, and tannic characteristics.

Tempranillo is also grown in other parts of the world, such as Portugal, Argentina, and the United States, but it is not as widely planted as it is in Spain. Tempranillo is a grape variety that can be enjoyed young, but it can also age well and improve with time. Whether you prefer a young, fruity Tempranillo or a more complex, aged wine, this grape variety is definitely one to try.
