The most famous, traditional and contemporary wines of Spain are made from the 'black' grape variety ..., Tempranillo.

It's name is the diminutive of the Spanish temprano ('early'), a reference to the fact that it is an early ripening variety, even in Margaret River.

A curiously large berried, very fleshy grape with over abundant tannin, probably due to its thickish skin. In the temperate maritime climate of the Margaret River region Tempranillo retains its natural acidity and a varietal elegance in this medium to full bodied red wine style.
