The Duero Valley, stretching across northern Spain, is one of the country’s most important and historic wine regions. Shaped by the Duero River, its continental climate with hot summers and cold winters creates ideal conditions for producing structured, age-worthy wines. Tempranillo is the dominant grape variety of the region and is known locally under different names, such as Tinto Fino or Tinta del País.
Wines made from Tempranillo in the Duero Valley are typically intense and complex, offering aromas of dark berries, ripe plums, and subtle spice. They are distinguished by firm tannins, balanced acidity, and excellent aging potential. The region is especially renowned for Ribera del Duero, where Tempranillo reaches one of its highest expressions.
