Description
Tempranillo is a red grape variety that is primarily associated with Spain, particularly in regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Toro. It is one of the most widely planted and important grape varieties in the country. Tempranillo grapes are known for their thick skins, which contribute to the wine's deep color and tannic structure. In terms of flavor profile, Tempranillo wines typically exhibit flavors of red berries such as strawberries and cherries, along with notes of plum, tobacco, leather, and vanilla. They often have moderate tannins and a medium to full body, providing a good balance between fruitiness and structure. Oak aging is common in Tempranillo wines, which can impart additional flavors of spice and toastiness. Tempranillo is a grape variety that is well-suited to food pairings. It complements a variety of dishes, including roasted meats, stews, grilled vegetables, and aged cheeses. The wine's acidity and tannins can help cut through richer and fattier foods, making it a versatile choice for pairing with different cuisines.Tasting Notes
Bright and vibrant, lifted cherry and plum aromas combine with rich raspberry and black cherry flavours. The palate is well-balanced with upfront berry fruits and tight tannins leading to a savoury finish. An easy drinking style, this wine is perfectly matched with food, including a hearty paella or lamb shanks.Product Details
