Wines made from Tempranillo grapes of Libournais
Discover the best wines made with Tempranillo as a single variety or as a blend of Libournais.
Elegant, structured reds with aromas of strawberry, cherry, plum, leather, blond tobacco and pronounced vanilla from long oak ageing. Ranges from Joven to Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva. Star of Rioja DOCa, Ribera del Duero DO and Toro DO, also shines in the Douro as Tinta Roriz/Aragonez. One of the world's most planted Spanish varieties.
Bordeaux right bank around Libourne, the world cradle of great Merlots. Velvety, opulent reds with signature notes of ripe plum, black cherry, truffle, cocoa, leather and sweet spices, round tannins and a fleshy palate - age-worthy wines. Dominant Merlot (70-80%) thrives on cold clay-limestone, complemented by Cabernet Franc (Bouchet) with raspberry and bell-pepper notes. Stars: Saint-Émilion (UNESCO), Pomerol (Pétrus), Fronsac.
