Indigenous to Spain, Tempranillo for centuries has powered the great wines of Toro, Ribera, and of course Rioja. Confined though to the restrictions of the EU, and at risk of being replaced by the drought loving grenache, it is interesting to explore the climatic and wine making practices in NZ.

Given Tempranillo is far from home, and embarking on its own journey, the name 'Camino' seems fitting.
