Aragonez Wine

Aragonez, also known as Tinta Roriz or Tempranillo, is a red wine grape variety that is primarily grown in Portugal and Spain. Its exact origin is still somewhat debated, but it is widely believed to have originated in the Iberian Peninsula. The grape has been cultivated in this region for centuries, and it has become an integral part of the local winemaking traditions.

In terms of taste profile, Aragonez wines are typically medium-bodied with moderate acidity and tannins. They often exhibit flavours of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, as well as herbal notes and hints of spice. The wines made from Aragonez grapes can be quite versatile, ranging from light and fruity to more complex and age-worthy styles.

While Aragonez is grown in various regions across Portugal and Spain, there are some areas that are particularly renowned for producing exceptional wines from this grape. In Portugal, the Alentejo region is considered one of the best areas for Aragonez. The warm climate and limestone-rich soils contribute to the development of ripe and concentrated fruit flavours in the wines. In Spain, the Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions are known for producing high-quality Aragonez wines with great aging potential.
