Tempranillo is a prominent red grape variety native to Spain, widely recognized for its role in producing high-quality wines. The name "Tempranillo" is derived from the Spanish word "temprano," meaning early, because the grape typically ripens earlier than other red varieties.

Tempranillo is known for its versatility and ability to produce a range of wine styles, from fresh and fruity to rich and complex. It is the principal grape in renowned Spanish wine regions such as Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Tempranillo wines often exhibit flavors of cherry, plum, and berry, along with earthy and spicy notes, which are enhanced by aging in oak barrels. The grape's adaptability to different climates and soils contributes to its widespread cultivation and the variety of expressions it can offer.
