In this intermediate guide, we delve into the world of Tempranillo, the most planted Spanish red grape variety, known for its versatility and range from fresh, easy-drinking styles to complex Gran Reservas.
Explore Tempranillo's medium acidity and tannins, and learn about the common practice of blending it with other varieties. We'll also discuss the crucial role of aging in Tempranillo's expression, including the traditional classifications from Joven to Gran Reserva in Rioja, and how they influence the wine's evolution.
Discover Tempranillo's signature flavors of red fruits, complemented by oak-induced notes and rich tertiary flavors as it ages. While primarily associated with regions like Rioja and Ribera del Duero in Spain, Tempranillo's influence extends globally.
