Aragonez, better known as Tempranillo in Spain, is a key red grape in Portugal, especially in Alentejo. It produces approachable, fruit-driven wines with flavours of ripe plum, cherry and subtle spice, often supported by smooth tannins and fresh acidity.

Versatile and widely planted, Aragonez is used both in blends and as a single varietal, offering a balance of richness and structure. In warmer regions, it delivers generous, rounded styles, while careful vineyard management helps retain freshness and definition.
