TEMP-rah-NEE-oh | Tempranillo is a bold and rich red wine varietal that originates from Spain, and is often referred to as the "noble grape" of the country. With its ruby red color, Tempranillo wines are known for their complex and balanced flavors, which often include dark fruits like currant, blackberry, and plum, as well as earthy notes of leather, tobacco, and cedar. Tempranillo is the primary grape used in many famous Spanish wines, such as Rioja and Ribera del Duero, and is also grown in other parts of the world, including Portugal, Argentina, and the United States. This versatile varietal can be enjoyed on its own or blended with other grapes to create a range of wine styles.
