"Ruby-red. Sweet butter, spicy redcurrant, tobacco, smoke, game, milk chocolate and cedary oak on the nose. Fat, sweet, lush and very deep; broad and (deceptively?) open. Very strong, persistent fruit outlasts the substantial tongue-coating tannins."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
On Spain's high central plateau, Ribera del Duero makes powerful, concentrated Tempranillo (locally Tinto Fino). Wide day-night temperature swings yield deeply colored, structured and age-worthy reds.
Produces powerful, deeply colored Tempranillo from Spain's high plateau, prized for concentration and structure.
