Grape variety tempranillo
The tempranillo is a blue grape variety that belongs to the noble grape varieties of vitis vinifera that are intended to make wine.
FeaturesThe grape has a thick peel and grows best on higher soils, but it can also be in a warm climate. To get a lot of acidity, aromas and elegance requires a cooler climate. But to get the high sugar levels and thick peels for the intense color, heat is needed. In the interior of Spain on higher plains, the days are hot and cool enough at night. Here the tempranillo tastes the best, with the example of the Ribera del Duero. Use
The tempranillo grape has a lot of aroma and is therefore widely used in assemblages. The rioja wines are tempranillo blends with supporting grapes like grenache and carignan (called Rioja mazuelo). Due to the height of the Ribera del Duero, cépage wines can be made here. Toro generally has a higher temperature and therefore a clone has developed, the tinta de Toro, which can withstand higher temperatures. Areas
To get to full wealth, the grape needs a warm climate. Especially in Spain on the hot massive plate, the grape is the basis for high quality wines. It is the grape for the most famous wine regions in Spain, the Ribera del Duero, Rioja, but also in Navarre and Penedès, two northern Spanish wine regions, the tempranillo plays a major role. In addition, we still encounter a large amount of grape in the Languedoc-Roussillon. Synonyms
