Tempranillo
Found mainly in Spain and Portugal where it is one of the dominant varietals, this forms the backbone of many of Spain’s reds, including those of Rioja, its best-known wine region.
Flavor Descriptors
Tempranillo usually offers flavours of dusty black fruits, mild berries (from strawberry to blueberry), tobacco, and a musky, earthy spiciness. Extended oak aging (a few years is not uncommon for traditional Rioja) can affect the end flavours immensely with notes of vanilla, oak, cedar, toast, and dried fruits.
