Top regions producing this wine:

Tempranillo is to Spain what Cabernet is to California. Native to northern Spain, Tempranillo thrives in the harsh climate of the Atlantic-influenced Rioja zones, Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa. It is the principal grape for many Rioja bottling, though its dark, thick skins, resulting in firm tannins, also make it a natural blending partner for fleshier grapes such as Garnacha or Carinena, adding complexity and earthy arenas along with its red berry flavors.

Tempranillo is also found in Spain’s other noted wine region to the south of Rioja. In Ribera del Duero it is known as Tinto Fino, and has captivated a world audience with the wines of Vega Sicilia and Pesquera. There, Tempranillo has adapted itself so specifically to the soils and climate that the locals frown upon planting any vine cuttings from vineyards outside of Ribera del Duero.

In Portugal, where it is known as Tinta Roriz, it comprises a valued proportion of Port blends. Throughout the world, interest in this red grape has led to plantings in Argentina, France, California and Oregon.
