The Condado De Haza Reserva Especial is a powerful and elegant expression of Ribera del Duero’s terroir. Crafted from 100% Tempranillo, this wine showcases remarkable structure, complexity, and a long-aging potential that defines the region’s finest reds.
Condado de Haza is the creation of the legendary Alejandro Fernández, a pivotal figure in the history of the Pesquera group and Ribera del Duero. Inspired by the châteaux of Bordeaux, the winery is uniquely designed with the cellar built into a hillside, allowing for natural temperature control. This innovative approach and commitment to quality have cemented their reputation for producing classic, age-worthy Spanish wines.
In the glass, the wine presents a deep, intense ruby-garnet color, hinting at its concentration. The nose is complex and inviting, offering layers of ripe black fruits like blackberry and plum, interwoven with notes of cedar, leather, and vanilla from its time in oak. On the palate, the Condado De Haza Reserva Especial is full-bodied and well-structured with firm yet velvety tannins, a balanced acidity, and a long, persistent finish.
For an optimal experience, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-64°F) after decanting for at least an hour. It pairs exceptionally well with robust dishes such as roasted lamb, grilled steak, game stews, and mature hard cheeses.
