Tempranillo arrived in Argentina with which group?

The grape Tempranillo in Argentina came with Spanish settlers. Tempranillo is a Spanish variety (often called Cencibel in Spain), and during the colonial era Spanish colonists brought vines to Argentina, establishing early vineyards in regions like Mendoza and San Juan. The other groups—Portuguese explorers, Italian immigrants, or French colonists—are not credited with introducing Tempranillo to Argentina, though they influenced the wine scene in other ways (for example, Malbec’s prominence is linked to French influence).
