Browse by Grape - Tempranillo
Without doubt Spain's greatest grape, and the one which forms the basis of most Rioja. A good grape to age but one which can be accessible early, and although frequently blended with other varieties (such as Garnacha, Carignan, Monastrell, Viura) it can achieve a pure fruited and spice-driven wine when used on its own (often in the Ribera del Duero region). Through the outstanding quality found in many of Ribera del Duero's top reds Tempranillo is starting to take a grip on vineyards all over the world. Also known as Tinto Roriz (and Aragonez!) in Portugal, Tinto Fino in the Ribera del Duero region, Tinto de Pais in Toro, and Cencibel in la Mancha (you could almost write a book on the varying names for Tempranillo!).

Tomas Postigo has made with his name in Ribera del Duero mainly as the ex winemaker of Pago De Carraovejas. Tempranillo (Tinta Fina) 85%, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, and aged for 12 months in new French oak is a very high quality wine. Big dark prune like fruit with a real meat edge this is a blockbuster of a wine.

The deep crimson-coloured 2006 Quinta Sardonia gives up an aromatic array of cedar, Asian spices, incense, and blackberry. Savoury and supple on the palate, it has enough underlying structure to evolve for 2-3 years and should be at its best from 2012 to 2026.

In his Ribera Del Duero 2022 Special Report, Tim Atkin MW tasted his way through 578 wines from 160 producers and chose the 2020 Mirum as his top wine of the year, awarding it with 98 points. That rates it as high as Pingus & Unico at a fraction of the price.
No small feat for this estate which is rocketing into the echelons of Spanish wine.
