The Power and Character of Spanish Red Wine

🍷Discover the unique red grapes of Vino de Lujo

Spain has a rich wine culture with an impressive variety of red grape varieties. At Vino de Lujo, we focus on lesser-known but incredibly flavorful grapes like Graciano, Tempranillo, Bobal, and Cencibel.

These wines come from small, passionate producers who often work with traditional methods passed down through generations.


🍇 Featured grape varieties

  • Tempranillo – A Spanish classic. Ripe red fruit, vanilla, and a touch of leather.

  • Graciano – Aromatic and intense. Cherry, herbs, and bright acidity. Great with lamb.

  • Bobal – Bold and full-bodied. Dark fruit, cocoa, and smooth tannins.

  • Cencibel – A local name for Tempranillo (mainly from La Mancha), with a softer structure and ripe red fruit.
