Tempranillo/Tinto Fino
A high quality Red Wine Grape that is grown all over Spain except in the hot South -
it is known as Tinto Fino in Ribera del Duero, Cencibel
in La Mancha and Valdepenas
and Ull de Llebre in Catalonia. Its spiritual
home is in Rioja and
Navarra where it
constitutes around 70% of most red blends.
Tempranillo based wines tend to have a spicy, herby, tobacco-like character accompanied by ripe strawberry and red cherry fruits. It produces fresh, vibrantly fruit driven "jovenes" meant for drinking young. However Tempranillo really comes into its own when oak aged, as with the top Riojas where its flavours seem to harmonise perfectly with both French and American oak, producing rich, powerful and concentrated wines which can be extraordinarily long-lived.
In Ribera del Duero it generally sees less oak - the exception being Vega Sicilia where it is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and then aged for an astonishing 7 years in oak and is unquestionably one of the world`s greatest wines.

From Cigales, in north-west Spain, a luscious, herb-tinged tempranillo with an added dash of Garnacha. Wonderfully ripe fruit is softened by six months in oak, which leaves it juicy and vibrant, with sour cherry flavours, hints of vanilla and subtle but firm tannins. It's a great value alternative ...

Located an hour or so to the South East of Madrid, Torre de Barreda is situated on the hot flat and in all honesty somewhat unpromising planes of Castille.

The presence of Vega Sicilia at the Pintia Bodega has re-awakened interest in ... MORE Drink 2010-2014 . | ||||

I love this wine. There’s something so incredibly warming about it; the rich red fruit, the cinnamon spice, the creamy finish… sub £10 Rioja at its very best. Once you’ve got past the whopping dollop of vanilla on the nose, there’s a beautifully balancing acidity, ... MORE | ||||

A superb New-Style Rioja made by the magician Alvaro Palacios; with far more Garnacha than one may expect (50/50 Garnacha and Tempranillo) the wine is made by whole-bunch fermentation and is aged only briefly in oak barrels. If he believed in such things, Alvaro would describe it as a 'Joven'; the ... MORE * 15% off single bottle price for Wine Club Members. Savings will be applied at checkout.

"Alvaro Palacios is doing great things in the Rioja Baja. This blend of 45% Tempranillo, 40% Garnacha, and 15% Graciano and Mazuelo is aged in French oak for 14 months. The warm 2005 vintage has been translated into a rich and generous palate, with notes of hedgerow, blackberries, vanillin and ... MORE Drink 2009-2015 . Jancis Score: 16.5/20 | ||||

Joven is something of a misnomer for this very fine and really quite serious wine. Indeed it is ‘young’ only in the sense that it is a 2008 vintage, and has even been treated to six months of barrel ageing…..very unusual in this category. With 10% of Cabernet Sauvignon and ... MORE | ||||

This is evidenced by a generous ruby colour and a nose of spice, damson, forest floor and violets. The palate is marked out ... MORE | ||||
