The grape variety Tempranillo

Red Grape Variety

Tempranillo is a distinguished red grape varietal renowned for its role in producing some of Spain’s most celebrated wines. The aromatic profile is marked by vibrant notes of ripe cherry, plum, strawberry, and fig, often accompanied by subtle hints of cedar, tobacco, and leather, especially when aged in oak. On the palate, Tempranillo offers a harmonious balance of supple tannins, moderate acidity, and a medium to full body, revealing flavors of red and black fruits, dried herbs, and earthy undertones.

The grape thrives primarily in Spain’s Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Toro regions, though it is also cultivated in Portugal (under the name Tinta Roriz or Aragonez) and increasingly found in New World wine regions. Tempranillo-based wines range from youthful, fruit-driven styles to complex Reserva and Gran Reserva bottlings, which benefit from extended barrel aging, gaining spice, vanilla, and savory character.

Recommended food pairings include roasted lamb, grilled steaks, chorizo, and hard cheeses such as Manchego. The grape’s versatility allows it to complement a variety of Mediterranean dishes, stews, and tapas, making Tempranillo a favored choice for both casual and fine dining settings.
