Lauren Denyer, a WSET educator, says: “Tempranillo, the third most-planted grape variety in the world, is one of the best wines from the Iberian Peninsula. It can be grown in both cold and hot climates, which makes it very popular with grape-growers and consumers alike, as it can produce high-quality wines everywhere. With its chalky tannins and fresh acidity, Tempranillo is such an important grape variety that it has many synonyms, from Ull de Llebre in Catalunya to Tinto Fino in Ribera del Duero.”
