It is indeed used in Valdepeñas, where it's also called Cencibel.

We haven't read that particular report so can't comment, but clearly they are proud to think of Tempranillo as their own.
Thanks for this, it was really interesting and informative.I live in Spain quite close to the Bullas, Yecla and Jumilla regions.Wonder if you've done anything on those three areas?

Everybody loves Tempranillo, it seems! 🙂 It's used a lot in Valdepeñas as well.
