It's irresistible and can be used to make a wide variety of wines. Even white wine—yes, you read that right. If you press a Tempranillo directly without allowing the juice to come into contact with the skins, you get a white Tempranillo, or Tempranillo Blanco. The Tempranillo grape has left its mark on Spain, but also on countries like Portugal, Argentina, and Australia. It offers so much to winemakers that it \u003cspan\u003ecan thrive in almost any climate. The origin of the Tempranillo grape lies, of course, in the Rioja region, where it has long produced grapes of exceptional quality. But let's not forget the Ribera del Duero, where it also produces beautiful bunches. There's also a happy medium: the Tempranillo Rosé!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Tempranillo grape loves a powerful soil. With its deep roots and warm climate, it thrives. The vines can reach a very old age, well over a hundred years. Old vines produce relatively fewer bunches, but they are still very powerful. Therefore, top Tempranillo wines are usually made from very old vines. The grape ripens quickly and is harvested early in the season, as the name Tempranillo means something like \"early small.\" Early ripening and small bunches are what we know about the Tempranillo grape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Maturing a Tempranillo Wine\u003c\/h2\u003e \n\u003cspan\u003eAs you probably know, Tempranillo is the grape par excellence for aging in oak barrels. Its soft and refined character allows the barrel to influence the wine. This is typical of Rioja, for example, where the oldest wines are aged in oak barrels for up to 36 months. Tempranillo aging is usually expressed in months in the bottle, for example, Reserva, Crianza, and Joven in Spain. In other countries, this is usually expressed as Reserve or Reserva. The difference in taste between an unaged Tempranillo and an aged Tempranillo is enormous. Unaged Tempranillo is young and fresh, and especially soft, while a full-bodied, powerful, smoky Tempranillo is often aged for a long time in oak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e What does a Tempranillo wine taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e \n\u003cspan id=\"moreText\"\u003eWhat flavor impressions does a Tempranillo wine impart? Well, a Tempranillo without oak aging has ripe, black fruit notes like blackberries, cherries, and currants. But some strawberry and raspberry are often also detectable. The transition to oak aging brings nuances of toasted wood, light spices, a touch of black pepper, and plums. Black fruit is also present, though to a lesser extent. The flavors are therefore quite distinct, and always ask for advice to find the right Tempranillo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A Tempranillo wine pairs wonderfully with a good BBQ, spicy dishes, red meat, and roasted duck or lamb. But Tempranillo is also a perfect evening wine; enjoy a glass on the sofa and savor the grape's diversity. If you have a white Tempranillo, it's best paired with fish like cod and flatfish.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"faustino-i-gran-reserva-rioja","title":"Faustino I Gran Reserva Rioja","description":"With over 650 hectares of its own vineyards, Bodegas Faustino is one of the most famous and remarkable wineries in Rioja.

Grapes from Faustino's oldest vines are used for this wine, resulting in full-bodied and powerful grapes. These grapes are harvested by hand and then pressed immediately. They are then aged for an impressive 26 months in French and American oak barrels. After this oak aging, the Faustino I undergoes three years of bottle aging in the cellars, resulting in a stunning result. The first Spanish wines left the winery over 150 years ago. Bodega Faustino manages the entire production process itself. All the grapes for its Reservas and Gran Reservas are grown in-house, which is highly unusual in Rioja. The entire production process, from vine to bottle, remains under one roof. The success of this approach is evident in Faustino's significant international success. The family business was soon forced to expand with more vineyards, wine barrels, and cellars. Bodega Faustino now owns over 800 hectares of vineyards and exports its wines to more than forty countries. The winery can hold approximately 50,000 oak barrels and maintains a permanent inventory of approximately nine million bottles.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe aroma and taste of the Faustino 1 Gran Reserva Rioja\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The wines are typically presented in frosted, Burgundian-style bottles with a Rembrandt-style label depicting an 18th-century Spanish nobleman.

There's also plenty of ripe black fruit, spices like pepper and bay leaf, a touch of toffee, and coffee grounds.

And so it was, today the Coto Mayor winery has grown enormously. The vineyards comprise a total of 110 hectares. Many winegrowers have since joined Coto Mayor to further expand their reach and expand their expertise. With all their knowledge and experience, the winery has recently invested heavily in vineyard improvements, modern winemaking techniques, and new oak barrels, among other things.

He could have earned a prominent position at the family winery, the world-famous Palacios Remondo. But he chose a different path. He studied enology in Bordeaux and had the enviable position of working under Pomerol superstar Châteaus Pétrus winemaker Jean Pierre Moueix. Upon returning to Spain, he established his own winery in 1989 in the Mediterranean wine region of Priorat, south of Barcelona in Tarragona. Along with the respected winemaker René Barbier and a few others, they embarked on what became known as the \"Gratallops Project,\" named after the picturesque Priorat village where the wines are produced.\n\n\n \nThis red wine is named after a hillside vineyard on the northeastern slope of Mount Yerga in eastern Rioja. La Montesa is a blend of indigenous grape varieties grown on the Palacios Remondo estate. Situated at an altitude of 1,800 feet, Palacios Remondo's vineyards are cultivated at some of the highest points in Rioja. The 30-year-old, head-trained vines are hand-harvested, organically farmed, and very closely spaced (3,000 plants per hectare). The soil consists of sediments dating back to the Quaternary period, consisting of clay and a stony, calcareous subsoil, covered with stones, with excellent drainage. Very low in organic matter and with a moderate base pH, the soil is perfect for growing high-quality fruit.

When the grapes are ripe, they are harvested by hand at night, after which they are sent to the press. Both varieties are pressed separately. The grapes undergo a cold maceration, after which fermentation begins at a controlled temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. After this, the final blend is assembled. Once bottled, the wine is aged for a few more years in the Dominio Punctum cellars before the winemaker releases the bottles.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eWhat does a wine made from Tempranillo and Petit Verdot taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e Finally, we get to taste this wine from Viento Aliseo. It has a deep red color with a beautiful purple rim. The nose offers a lovely bouquet of aromas of red berries and cherries with a very light spicy note at the finish. This translates to a silky red wine with a subtle bite. Refined notes of ripe red fruit and some cassis fruit are balanced by a soft peppery note. The finish is sultry and long. This Viento Aliseo Tempranillo Petit Verdot is a delicious red wine!","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775759880271,"sku":"5531","price":8.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/viento-aliseo-tempranillo-petit-verdot_5531.webp?v=1770046484"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/druif-tempranillo.oembed?page=2","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
