French black hybrid created around 1920 by Albert Seibel (Seibel 10878).

The wine region of Tierra del Vino de Zamora
DO of Castile and León (promoted 2007) south of Zamora on the north bank of the Duero, old pre-phylloxera vines. Tempranillo is the signature red (≥75%): dense and concentrated with deep notes of blackberry, plum, black cherry, leather, liquorice and a marked mineral touch, firm tannins and generous flesh — more tannic and alcoholic than Rioja, close to neighbouring Toro. Garnacha and Cabernet as complements. Malvasía, Verdejo and Godello for whites.
The wine region of Castille-et-Léon
Cradle of great Castilian reds on high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) of the Duero. Tempranillo king (Tinto Fino, Tinta de Toro): powerful, structured reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather and spices, firm tannins and length worthy of long ageing. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (fresh mineral Mencía). Lively herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda, cut grass and citrus.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
