Tempranillo

citation for "Due to its high susceptibility to pests and diseases (particularly phylloxera which devastated stocks in the 19th century and still threatens the vines today), Spanish Tempranillo has long been grafted onto more resistant rootstock, resulting in a slightly different grape style to those grown today in Chile and Argentina."

citation for "Pests and diseases are a serious problem for this grape variety, since it has little resistance to either. The grape forms compact, cylindrical bunches of spherical, purplish black fruit with a colourless pulp. The fruit is very dark in colour and forms a bead-like sphere, hence its Catalan name of Ull de Llebre ("Eye of the Hare")."

citation for "Pago del Vicario winery, in Ciudad Real in La Mancha, is producing an unusual "blanc de noir" wine from black tempranillo grapes. The pale steely yellow "Blanco de Tempranillo" is produced by using grapes picked slightly early than their usual harvest time, and minimizing the amount of time the juice is in contact with the skins."

citation for "Tempranillo is grown in eastern Washington by vineyards such as Willridge Vineyard where it is used in port-style wine. Inwood Estates Vineyards in Texas also has their Cornelious, along with some other blends using Tempranillo."

citation for "Tempranillo is also grown in many Australian wine regions including McLaren Vale, the Adelaide Hills, Wrattonbully and in Western Australia. There are now over 200 Australian wineries making wine from this variety."
