Tempranillo: The Soul of Spain

If Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of structure and Pinot Noir the voice of elegance, Tempranillo is the heart of Spain. It is Spain’s most important red grape variety and the foundation of many of the country’s most celebrated wines. What makes Tempranillo unique is not only the grape itself, but its relationship with time. Few varieties are so closely linked to maturation, oak ageing and the gradual development of complexity.
