Tempranillo is an early ripening variety, ‘temprano’ being the word for ‘early’ in Spain. The grapes are typically harvested before any other red varieties. Once harvested, the grapes are fermented with yeasts indigenous to the vineyards, followed by a wild malolactic fermentation in tank. Their aim has been to create a youthful style, showcasing the stylish fruit flavours and lovely tannins of Tempranillo.
