Tempranillo Wines
Tempranillo is a red grape variety primarily grown in Spain, particularly in the Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. It produces medium to full-bodied wines with flavors of red and dark fruit, such as cherry and plum, along with notes of tobacco, leather, and spice. The ABV for Tempranillo wines typically ranges from 12.5-14.5%. Its popularity is due to its ability to produce complex, age-worthy wines that reflect the unique terroir of Spain.
The varied soils and climates of regions where Tempranillo is grown allow the grape to develop its characteristic flavors and structure. Tempranillo is often used to produce both youthful, vibrant wines and more structured, long-lived versions. Its versatility and potential for producing high-quality, expressive wines have made it a favorite among winemakers and wine enthusiasts, ensuring its continued significance in the world of viticulture.
