Tinta Roriz

About this grape variety

Known as Tempranillo in Spain and Aragonez in southern Portugal, Tinta Roriz is the most widely planted noble red on the Iberian peninsula. In Douro and Dão it brings structure, dark cherry fruit and moderate tannin to traditional blends; in the Alentejo it produces ripe, generous solo varietals. The grape buds and ripens early, which lets it succeed in a wide range of climates from Castile's high plateau to the Tejo's warmer plains. Wines age well when grown on the right sites.
