The family has always been inspired by the great estates of Bordeaux and so in true château style, Condado de Haza was built at the heart of the vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA commitment to excellence backed by tradition was infused into everything when establishing Condado de Haza. Starting from scratch by boring into a hillside, the family built an aging room 30m below the vineyard. A 200m tunnel was excavated in order to create a chamber that would maintain the ideal natural temperature and humidity for cellaring wine. Only produced in the very best vintages, Alenza - a contraction of the names of Alejandro and Esperanza - is proclaimed as the most traditional of all the estates’ wines, being the only one going through traditional whole-cluster fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondado de Haza is committed exclusively to Tempranillo made from the estate-owned vineyards that produce bold wines with amazing complexity, class and which offer outstanding value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"condado-de-haza-ribera-del-duero-crianza","title":"Condado de Haza Ribera del Duero Crianza 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eCondado de Haza was one of Spain's first château-style wineries, with all of its vineyards surrounding the winery.

Pure Tempranillo, matured for 14 months in American oak barrels the Condado de Haza Crianza displays intense aromas of ripe red berry and black fruits. Liquorice notes, typical of the Tempranillo grape variety, also come through. Sweet, roasted coffee bean aromas follow with hints of vanilla and touches of spice. The palate is full and silky with perfectly integrated acidity and very pleasant, gentle tannins. Black fruit flavours, with blackberry in particular, lead into a long creamy finish. The oak is nicely integrated, expressing notes of toast and vanilla, characteristic of a wine aged in American oak barrels.

Even the name is a legacy, blending the first names of the estate's founders, Alejandro Fernández and his wife, Esperanza Rivera. What makes Alenza so incredibly special is how it is made. It is only produced in truly flawless years, and the winemakers take a completely old-school, hands-on approach. Instead of stripping the grapes off the bunch, the pristine fruit from their prized Maricalva vineyard is fermented whole, with the stems still attached. This ancient technique, followed by over two years of resting in American oak barrels, creates a wine with a firm, confident structure and a deep, earthy complexity that you just do not see in modern winemaking. In the glass, it is a robust, fascinating powerhouse. You will find wave upon wave of dark blackberry and black plum, layered with sweet vanilla, toasted spice, leather, and a hint of tobacco. Yet, for all its massive concentration and velvet-like tannins, it maintains a brilliant, refreshing energy. This is a remarkable expression of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hic.wine\/collections\/tempranillo-grape-variety\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Explore wines produced from the Tempranillo grape online at Hic!\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"39\"\u003eTempranillo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e grape and an absolute benchmark for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hic.wine\/collections\/ribera-del-duero-wine-region-spain\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for wines from the Spanish wine region of Ribera del Duero Online at Hic!\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"87\"\u003eRibera del Duero\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003c\/a\u003eBuilt for slow, rich meals like a roasted shoulder of lamb or a hearty, slow-cooked stew, it is a wine that demands to be decanted and savoured.
