Condado de Haza
Crianza Tempranillo
Lying in the coldest region of the four estates, Condado de Haza is the last winery of the Familia Fernandez Rivera to begin harvest. The finished wine is aged for 18 months in American oak barrels and 6 months in the bottle before releasing to the market. This red from Condado de Haza was thought of as a more modern style from this region in the 1980s; however, today's modern style makes this bottling seem quite reserved and balanced in style. Full of black berried fruits, good tannins, and still robust but with a good dose of freshness that balances the wine marvelously.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to AL, AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MO, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, SD, TX, VT, WA.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Ribera del Duero](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1817/normal/Spain.png?1616010618)
Ribera del Duero
Spain's Ribera del Duero region is revered among fine wine lovers for its rich, deeply flavored, and long-aging red wines. Lying along the upper valley of the Duero River (which becomes the Duoro as it flows in Portugal), Ribera del Duero's wines are known for their lush black cherry, blackberry and fig notes. As in Rioja, Tempranillo is the principal variety, produced in the area's extreme climate and dry, sandy-clay soils. At around 2,500 feet, night-time temperatures plummet here, while the days can be fiercely hot in the summer months. It is these extreme conditions that help create such extraordinary wines. Some producers add Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec to their Tempranillo. The DO (Denominación de Origen) category within Spain’s wine classifications is the largest portion within the country’s pyramid of quality. Wines are approved to be at DO status when they meet a handful of standards related to authorized varietals, production size, methods within winemaking and aging restrictions. Additionally, appellations must have been recognized for a minimum of five years in order to be considered to be a DO.
