Tempranillo

$69.99
Tempranillo is a red grape variety which forms the backbone of some of the finest wines from Spain and Portugal. Almost every red wine from Rioja and Ribera del Duero has Tempranillo at its core, and in Portugal the variety is widely used in the Douro Valley ? under the name Tinta Roriz ? both for table wines and fortified wines (Port). Tempranillo vines have been successfully adopted in the New World, especially in California, Argentina and Australia.
Tempranillo means 'little early one', a name given to it by Spanish growers who observed its habit of ripening earlier than Garnacha (Grenache), its traditional Spanish blending partner. DNA studies suggest that the grape originated in Rioja and Navarra, and the lack of clonal variation among the various locations where it is planted indicate that it has only spread through Spain relatively recently. In fact there is now suggestions of a backlash among some wineries outside the grapes heartland, in favor of longer-established but neglected local varieties.
