In 2020, on November 12th, we can celebrate International Tempranillo Day. The grape is native to Spain, and is also planted in other countries throughout the world including the United States. Our favorite Tempranillo from the United States is from Southern Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, to celebrate the day, we tasted five Tempranillo wines from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pradorey.es\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Pradorey (opens in a new tab)\">Pradorey<\/a> winery in the Ribera del Duero wine region of Spain. The winery sent us samples. For this blog post, Terry wrote haikus for each wine rather than traditional wine notes. The wines included a white Tempranillo and a Tempranillo made in earthen vessels called tinaja.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2015 El Cuentista<\/strong>, a white wine made with 100% Tempranillo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haiku<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>White Tempranillo<\/em><br><em>Nectarines and vanilla<\/em><br><em>Fruit and mineral.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2015 Finca Valdelayegua<\/strong>, Tempranillo with a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haiku<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Single vineyard blend<\/em><br><em>Garnet color with black fruits<\/em><br><em>Spicy notes throughout.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2016 Adaro<\/strong>, 100% Tempranillo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haiku<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Adaro &#8211; founder.<\/em><br><em>A tribute with berry fruits<\/em><br><em>Baking spice finish.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2014 \u00c9lite<\/strong>, 100% Tempranillo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haiku<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Elite the unique,<\/em><br><em>Great fruit, spice, body, tannins.<\/em><br><em>Drinks expensively.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2016 El Buen Alfareo<\/strong>, 100% Tempranillo made in tinaja<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haiku<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A good potter wine.<\/em><br><em>Grown in earth; made in earth.<\/em><br><em>No oak, delicious.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers,<br>Terry<br><\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"International Tempranillo Day\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=17337\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrate Tempranillo Day with a glass of Tempranillo.
