Fun Wine Facts!
Tempranillo is a black grape variety widely grown
to make full-bodied red wines in its native Spain.
Its name is the diminutive of the Spanish temprano
("early"), a reference to the fact that it ripens
several weeks earlier than most Spanish red
grapes.
Tempranillo has been grown on the Iberian
Peninsula since the time of Phoenician settlements.
It is the main grape used in Rioja, and is often
referred to as Spain's noble grape. The grape has
been planted throughout the globe in places such
as Mexico, New Zealand, California, Washington
State, Oregon, South Africa, Texas, Australia,
Argentina, Portugal, Uruguay, Turkey, Canada,
Israel and Arizona.
