Join us for an exploration of Tempranillo, one of Spain’s most celebrated and versatile red grape varieties! In this class, we’ll discover its origins, explore the diverse regions where it thrives, and learn how climate, vineyard practices, and oak aging shape its character. From the fresh red fruit and savory earthiness of younger expressions to the complex notes of leather, tobacco, spice, and dried fruit found in more mature wines, we’ll uncover the many faces of this remarkable grape.
Along the way, we’ll explore the traditions and winemaking techniques that make regions like Rioja and Ribera del Duero so distinctive, while considering how Tempranillo expresses itself across different climates and styles. Through a guided tasting, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the grape’s defining characteristics, learn what to look for in the glass, and discover why Tempranillo remains such an enduring favorite among wine lovers.
