Tempranillo
Tempranillo is the beating heart of Spain, a grape that captures the warmth of the Iberian sun while holding onto a core of refined, old-world elegance. In its classical strongholds of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, it delivers aromas of red cherry, plum, tobacco leaf, vanilla, and subtle spice, often with a gentle savoury edge that speaks of time and tradition. Its naturally thick skins and moderate acidity give it a supple, velvety structure, making Tempranillo one of the most textural and harmonious red varieties in the world. Fresh and floral when young, deeper and more complex with age, it’s a grape that seems to hold memory beautifully.
What makes Tempranillo so compelling is its adaptability. In Rioja, it can be graceful and aromatic, shaped by long ageing in American or French oak; in Ribera del Duero, it becomes darker, denser, more muscular; in Toro, it turns wild and powerful, with intense fruit and firm tannins; and in Portugal (as Tinta Roriz), it brings precision and lift to Douro blends. Whether crafted in a modern, fruit-driven style or a traditional, long-aged expression, Tempranillo always carries a sense of balance, ripe fruit, gentle spice, and a silky, almost effortless charm. It’s Spain in a glass: warm, soulful, and quietly confident.
