Tempranillo is a red wine grape variety primarily associated with Spain. These wines offer flavors of red and black fruits, oak-influenced notes like vanilla, medium to full body with moderate acidity and tannins. They age well and are versatile for food pairings, especially with grilled meats, lamb, and Spanish tapas. The specific characteristics can vary by region, with Rioja wines being more traditional and oak-driven, and Ribera del Duero wines offering concentrated fruit flavors. In Portugal, it's known as Tinta Roriz or Aragonez and used for Port and red table wines, while it's also grown in other international regions like Australia and the United States.
