Tempranillo T016

Origin:

Cultivation status: Today, Tempranillo is the most widely planted grape variety in Navarre. Together with Garnacha, it is one of the most extensively cultivated grape varieties in the world and the most widely used for winemaking in Spain.

Agronomic characteristics: It has a short growing cycle. It is sensitive to wind and extreme drought, susceptible to powdery mildew and moderately susceptible to Phomopsis cane and leaf spot (excoriosis). The leaf is large, pentagonal in shape, with five or seven slightly overlapping lobes.

Winemaking potential: Depending on yield levels and when production is controlled, it produces excellent wines with relatively low acidity. It is particularly suitable for producing young wines using carbonic maceration. It also responds very well to ageing in oak barrels, producing wines of excellent quality.
