Tempranillo

Tempranillo is Spain's greatest red grape and the driving force behind some of the country's most celebrated wines, most notably the elegant, oak-aged reds of Rioja and the powerful, structured bottles of Ribera del Duero. Known for its medium body, earthy complexity, red cherry fruit and distinctive vanilla and leather notes that develop with time in barrel, Tempranillo is a naturally food-friendly grape that shines alongside roasted meats, lamb and aged cheeses. Whether you are reaching for an approachable young Crianza or a serious Gran Reserva, Tempranillo consistently delivers some of the best value in the world of fine wine.
