Aragonez

Origin

Resulting from the natural crossing between a white grape variety from the Ribera del Douero and a red grape from Aragon: the albillo mayor and the benedicto.

Also known as

Tempranillo, Tinta de toro, Tinta del País, Tinto fino, Tinta roriz

Aragonez, the Portuguese synonym for Tempranillo, is a Mediterranean red grape variety that combines accessibility with complexity. Early-ripening, it produces balanced wines with ripe fruit (cherry, plum, strawberry), supple tannins, and moderate acidity.
