Fun Facts About Tempranillo

The name Tempranillo comes from the Spanish word “temprano,” meaning “early,” because the grapes ripen earlier than many other varieties.

It is one of Spain's most famous red wine grapes and is also known by other names, including Tinta del País, Aragonez, and Ull de Llebre.

A white grape variety called Tempranillo Blanco is also grown in Spain and is used to produce distinctive white wines.
