Stockholm to host 5th annual International Tempranillo Competition

The international competition for Tempranillo wines will be held May 26 to 29 in Stockholm. This competition is limited to wines made from the Tempranillo variety and organizers expect to have about 500 wines participating.

Most of the participants are Spanish, making this competition an excellent vehicle for international promotion of Spanish winery. However, participation from other countries. Last year's competition medal winning wines included Nepenthe Tempranillo 2005 and Mr. Riggs Yacca Paddock Tempranillo 2006 both from the Adelaide Hills region of Australia and Sanguinhal Aragonêz 2005 from Portugal.
