Top Rated Tempranillo

Laetitia Vineyards, makers of Barnwood wines

Originating in Spain where it continues to be prominently grown, Temprañillo is considered to be the country’s "noble grape.” The name, which translates to "little early one," is a reference to its brief growing season. The full-bodied red wine has a ruby-red color and an herbaceous flavor quality, with notes of berries, plum, vanilla, tobacco and leather. These are the top Temprañillos we've tasted, starting with our highest rated wines.
