A red blend that has proved popular in northern Spain, particularly Navarra, and in various parts of the New World.

Tempranillo merlot wines are generally rich and concentrated with berry fruit flavours.

Tempranillo
- Has been adopted across the winegrowing world, but is still very much associated with the fine wines of Spain and Portugal.
- Strawberries, tobacco and spice flavours can be found in many Tempranillo wines.
Merlot
- Merlot has spread far and wide from its homeland in Bordeaux, and is found in many top wine regions around the world.
- Merlot commonly exhibits cherry or caramel flavours but is perhaps more often recognized for its silky texture rather than for any one flavour. This makes it ideal for blending as it can smooth out more-tannic varieties.
