Thanks to the application of the Delinat methods, distinctive features of the variety, the soil and the local climate are emphasised and even the respective origin becomes clearly noticeable. Make friends with this Spanish speciality: In the ”Viva España” sampler pack, a selection of Spanish red wines from different regions, you will find Tempranillo as a single-variety wine or in combination with other varieties.
Tempranillo – typical and yet different
Depending on the region, the wines that are produced entirely or partially from Tempranillo grapes display an entirely different character. In the Rioja, Navarra or Penedès regions, they tend to taste light, tangy and fruity. Ribera del Duero produces wines with a claim to strength and fullness; the grape here is called Tinto Fino or Tinto del País. As suggested by its name, the Toro region is known for its hot-blooded and powerful reds. In the La Mancha region, where Tempranillo often goes by the name of Cencibel, the wines are especially good value for money.
In harmony with nature
The Tempranillo wines in the Delinat range are produced by family businesses in a variety of regions in accordance with the most demanding organic guidelines. The grapes ripen in vineyards that display an incomparable level of biodiversity for the good of nature and the pleasure of the drinker. Character and origin become clearly perceptible in the glass. This is what they call terroir wine. Using our online search function, you are certain to find your personal favourite.
