Portuguese Tinta Roriz, also known as Aragonez in southern Portugal and Tempranillo in Spain, is one of the major red wine grape varieties in Portugal. It is a prominent component in the noble blends of the Douro Valley, known for producing the renowned Port wines, and also features widely in the table wines of Dão and Ribatejo. Wines made from Tinta Roriz are typically full-bodied, with rich, ripe red fruit flavours and notes of earth and spice. The grape is appreciated for its versatility, as it performs well both in single varietal wines and in blends, offering a characteristically Portuguese balance between tradition and adaptability.
