The Tempranillo variety occupies 31,046 hectares of cultivated land, which represents 61% of the D.O.Ca. Rioja, with a steady growth over the last few years at the expense of other varieties. It is considered to be a species indigenous to the Rioja region and its Spanish origin is internationally recognised.
The Tempranillo grape sets very well but is very sensitive to pests and disease and not very resistant to drought or high temperatures. Its wines offer an honest flavour, appealing and fresh in young wines and understated and velvety in aged wines. It is regarded as the most favoured variety and for quite some years it has occupied the largest proportion of vineyards in the D.O.
