Tempranillo Tour: Spain’s Noble Grape, Region by Region
Thursday, November 12th | 6 pm
Tempranillo is the soul of Spain, and the grape behind the name on our door. Its name comes from temprano, “early,” for the way it ripens ahead of its neighbors, but there’s nothing rushed about the wines it makes. In Rioja it’s silky and layered with vanilla and spice; in Ribera del Duero it turns dark and powerful; in Toro it gets bold, sun-soaked, and a little wild. We’re pouring it side by side, from youthful and fruit-forward to long-aged and graceful, so you can taste how one grape tells so many stories. Come explore Spain’s greatest red, glass by glass.
