Information

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

While Rioja and Ribera del Duero are known for bold, dry Tempranillo, newer semi-sweet styles are being embraced in regions like La Mancha and Valencia, where innovation is driving interest in sweeter wine profiles.
