Rancho Viejo Tempranillo
Everyday Spanish Tempranillo, red and rose, six dollars a bottle.
The story behind Rancho Viejo
Tempranillo is Spain's signature red grape, the backbone of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, and it drinks with a friendly, earthy character: red and dark cherry, a little leather and tobacco, modest tannin and gentle acidity. The rose version is picked earlier and pressed off the skins, so it comes out fresh and dry with strawberry and melon notes.
We keep Rancho Viejo Tempranillo in the small brand section at our Commack store, one to two bottles at a time, in both the red and the rose. Ask us at the counter and we will tell you what is on the shelf that day.

Which Rancho Viejo is right for you?
Both Rancho Viejo Tempranillo bottles are priced at $6 for a 750mL, red and rose alike. That is a plain, everyday price for a Spanish grape that punches above its cost. We stock only one or two bottles of each, so availability moves quickly. Call the Commack store at (631) 343-7200 before you drive over.
Soft tannin and cherry notes suit pizza, burgers and Tuesday dinner.
Dry and crisp, chilled for the porch or a backyard plate.
