Tempranillo
Discover Tempranillo: Spain's Noble Grape
Tempranillo is Spain's star red grape, responsible for some of the country's most celebrated wines, especially from Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Expect a medium to full-bodied wine with bright acidity and firm tannins. Its flavors often range from tart cherry and plum to more savory notes of tobacco and leather as it ages.
Tasting notes
Look for juicy red fruit like cherry and strawberry, often accompanied by hints of vanilla, dill, and sometimes a leathery or tobacco-like complexity. Wines aged in oak, common for Tempranillo, will show these secondary characteristics.
Perfect food pairings
This versatile grape shines with roasted meats like lamb or pork, as well as chorizo and tapas. Its structure stands up well to richer dishes, while its fruitiness complements grilled vegetables and tomato-based sauces.
One more thing
When shopping, look for terms like 'Crianza,' 'Reserva,' or 'Gran Reserva' on Spanish bottles, particularly from Rioja. These indicate specific aging periods, with longer aging generally leading to more complex, savory, and smooth wines.
