SpainInformation
Tempranillo is a red wine from Spain, known for its deep ruby color and balanced, fruity taste. This wine has a rich aroma of red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, with hints of spice and earthiness. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and flavors of ripe fruit, black pepper, and a long, smooth finish. Tempranillo pairs perfectly with grilled meats, stews, and aged cheeses. Its well-rounded, fruity nature makes it a versatile wine that complements both casual and elegant dining experiences.
Fun facts
Tempranillo, often called “the noble grape of Spain,” was reportedly named after the Spanish word temprano, meaning “early,” because it ripens earlier than other varieties. It’s the backbone of some of Spain’s most famous wines, like Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
